Groombridge Tennis Club.

We have plenty of planned activities for all members most days of the week:  club organised friendly mix-ins (Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays); club tournaments and ladders; inter-club matches ; junior camps, tournaments and mix-ins in the holidays; junior and adult coaching with Le Tennis.  Refer to our club calendar on this website for more information.       

TENNIS COURTS have been repainted, and are looking as good as new. We would like to thank Gatwick Community Trust with their generous grant which helped fund this work. The courts look so much better, and they will last so much longer.

HORAM  LEAGUE  Fantastic results for the Horam League teams. Our 2nd team came top of division 3,  and will be promoted to division 2 next year. 1st team came 2nd in division 1 (beaten by half a point by Cross-in-Hand). Well done to all players, and to the team captains Dave Hankey & Lee Savage.
