Sidford Tennis Club

An important part of Sidford Tennis club is holding regular social events for its members and we are currently organising an events calendar to help populate everyone's diaries. Next key events are below:

Grass Courts Available – Thursday evenings from 5th June 2025

We have secured the use of 4 x Grass Courts at Coburg Fields in Sidmouth (next to Kennaway House) which will be available for all members to use each Thursday evening between 5pm-8pm for the whole of June, July and August 2025

That means there will be sixteen places available each week and these cannot be booked through Clubspark so there is now an A4 folder on the table in the clubhouse for you to put your names in for each week to book and you can book as often as you want to.

Things to be aware of at Coburg Fields:

• Please ensure that you have tennis balls with you prior to arrival as there are not any on site.
• Please take refreshments of your own
• We must ensure that both gates are manually locked at the end of each session every week so whoever is last to leave please remember this.
• All nets to be lowered at the end of each session

AGE UK Festival- Tuesday 17th June 2025 11am

Further to some of the great work that Sue Wiltshire has been doing with AGE UK and the walking tennis sessions over recent months we are excited and proud to support what will be the inaugural hosting of the Age UK Walking Tennis Festival which will be hosted at Sidford on the above date- Start time is 11am - Please see posters in the club house for further information to look at how you can support the event.

League Players- Halfway Season Social… Thursday 19th June 6.30pm onwards

This summer we have our Ladies, Men’s and for the first time 2 x Mixed Teams entered into the league format with a total of 48 fixtures to complete over the coming weeks!

I hope that all those that have been involved to date have been enjoying the matches and the competition.

We  are roughly half way through the Summer season so would like to invite all those involved in the league teams to a social on Thursday 19th June for a 6.30pm start with some social tennis to start and then drinks afterwards from around 7.45pm where we will have the latest league tables available for you to view and to get any feedback from you all on your experiences to date.

We look forward to seeing you there if you are available…
