AGM - New Committee Members

Posted 25th November 2021

Thank you to all who attended our AGM yesterday evening, the minutes of which will be posted here on the website as soon as they are available. The AGM saw three new committee members voted on to the committee. Steve Harris takes over from Glen Pountney as Chair, and Christine Banks steps into the Treasurer's position previously filled by James Challinor. Gareth Edwards was also officially voted in having filled the position as acting facilities manager for the last few months. We wish them every success in helping guide the future of the club in these very important roles.

Club Christmas Party

Posted 26th October 2021

After missing out last year we're happy to re-establish the annual Christmas meal on Friday 10th December @7.30pm at the Barley Mow, Milford. We have reserved our usual area which can seat up to 44. 

Their festive menu is available here. Cost will be £15.99 for 2 courses or £18.99 for 3 courses (plus any relevant supplements). We'll be asking for the money in November but it will be refundable for up to about a week or so before.

We are opening this to members only in the first instance, but if places are still free, partners will be able to take any spare places nearer the time.

Please email Carol to book your place!

About Us

Walton Tennis Club is situated in a rural location on the outskirts of Stafford. We take pride in being a friendly club which welcomes new or experienced players of all abilities, offering opportunities for social tennis, league tennis and family play. We have four hard courts, and play all the year round, until 10 pm under floodlights. We have around 140 senior playing members and run social mix-ins several weekday evenings, and on Sunday morning. These mix-ins are a chance for members to meet other players and guarantee newcomers a game. For more competitive players, we run several teams in the local Staffordshire tennis league. Our club championship competition runs each summer and an open veterans competition runs in the winter.

Our club coach, Chris Proud, runs coaching programmes for juniors and adults and is available for private individual or group sessions and is there to meet new members at the Thursday night mix-in. The licensed bar is open on mix-in nights and we also hold social events in the clubhouse.

We have a patio and social area, with outdoor table tennis table, picnic tables and benches and this adds an extra dimension to the atmosphere at the club.
