Tuesday Club Night                   

  • Club Night is held every Tuesday night from 6.00 pm until 8.00 pm.
  • All members are welcome (except complete beginners). But we aim to help complete beginners get there as quickly as possible !! 
  • Non-members are welcome to come to a couple of club nights.  If you've played tennis before and want to try out the club, then this is a great session to join.
  • Club night gives members an opportunity to play with different partners and opponents, usually in doubles.
