Mulled wine and Tinsel - our Christmas themed fun tournament 2024

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!

Strawberries and Cream! Our Wimbledon themed Fun Tournament 2024

Cloudy with a splash of strawberries! Whilst the weather was not as warm as it had been of late, we enjoyed some sunny spells and thankfully no rain! Members attended in the traditional whites (almost!) and had some cracking matches. Scores at the top were close with Pav prevailing, Valli, Louis and Phyllis hot on his heals! This year we were lucky to be given a fabulous prize of a Wimbledon Polo Top, kindly donated by one of our members Blair (who missed the tournament as he was partying away at Glastonbury!) Thank you for your generous gift, Blair. Congratulations on your win Pav.

Roland Garros 4th June 2023 -

Great morning of tennis, the sun was shining and everyone had a great time.

The clubhouse was adorned with red white and blue bunting, tennis ball garlands and troughs of flowers, the french lavender was a little late to the party however, arriving on Tuesday! We had 12 participants competing in 5 rubbers with a handicap sysytem (as we had players of varied skill level). Members enjoyed some lovely french themed food and entered the spirit of the theme wearing colours of clay courts and the 'Tricolore' ! We are having so much fun we forget to take photos of participants! Well done to the joint winners Louis, Phyllis and Valli!! Thank you to everyone who contributed to make it such an enjoyable morning!

Social tournament 15 April 2023 to celebrate the start of the Summer season, yes it rained but we still had a great time and managed 5 rubbers in between the raindrops! More time to enjoy the refreshments!
