Pickleball

Come and join the most easterly Tennis and Pickleball Club in the UK!

Our community of tennis and pickleball members is growing and we'd love you to join us!

Pickleball - New for 2025

Organised Social Pickleball Sessions will take place on Monday (beginners/improvers) and Wednesday (improvers/advanced) evenings from 6pm to 9pm, starting 7th April 2025 (as the floodlights don't cover the Pickleball courts) and on a Saturday (all welcome) morning from 10am to 1pm.  Please see further details below.  All are welcome to come along and try our organised social pickleball sessions, with potential new members invited to attend three sessions without charge before committing to joining.

Organised Social Pickleball sessions are Mondays (beginners/improvers) from 6pm to 9pm and Wednesdays (improvers/advanced) from 6pm to 9pm and on Saturday (all welcome) from 10am to 1pm

* Non-members are welcome to attend three Social Pickleball "Taster" Sessions for free and if they would like to participate in the Club organised social sessions thereafter on a more regular basis and enjoy the benefits of being a club member (as detailed above), they would be very welcome to take up a Full Membership

On becoming a member you will receive a yellow racket / paddle band which should be slipped over the handle of your racket / paddle above the grip. It helps us all to recognise paid up Club members and they are invaluable in terms of safeguarding.

Annual Subscriptions

As the Pickleball section is new to the club and will take time to build and for local leagues to be established, club membership subscriptions reflect this, with the following rates set for 2025:
