Court Refurbishment - Thank you CALNE AREA BOARD

SOCIAL TOURNAMENTS

Mulled wine and Tinsel, our Christmas themed fun tournament and last of 2024 was held on 1st December. 

What a fantastic morning of tennis to kick off the festive season! It was touch and go at first, with early morning rain threatening the event, but after a slight half-hour delay, we were rewarded with clear skies - and even a touch of sunshine! The clubhouse looked festive, with beautiful decorations, delicious holiday treats, and Christmas attire in abundance. A huge congratulations to Phyllis, our tournament champion! The competition was fierce, and the scores were incredibly close. Well done to everyone for making this such a memorable event!
