**NEW** FOR 2021 GTC SINGLES LADDER        We are pleased to offer members the opportunity to play friendly singles matches against other members through a new singles ladder. The concept of this ladder allows you to play as much or as little as you want (with no match deadlines) and take a break or leave if required. It is extremely flexible.  The ladder is accessed through a free app called Sportch. After signing up, you will be placed in groups of 5 within the overall ladder Your starting position will be based on how you self-assessed yourself during registration and your position will change as and when results are submitted. Please contact Sam at [email protected] if you would like more information.

RUSTY RACKETS  If you are feeling you haven’t played tennis for a while, a Rusty Rackets session will be offered on Thursday evenings in April – all members are welcome.

Founded in 2000 the club has three tarmacadam all weather courts and a brand new artificial clay court.* Our clubhouse has a club room, toilet and changing facilities and a kitchen. We are an LTA registered venue. We have club sessions on Wednesday evenings and Friday mornings for adults, plus a weekly ladies morning on a Wednesday.

Junior coaching is run on Saturday mornings during term time, with holiday camps during school holidays.   It is intended that juniors will have their own club night after Easter.
