Walton Tennis Club

90th ANNIVERSARY PARTY

Posted 28th July 2022

We have been planning our 90th Anniversary event on Saturday 3rd September, at 7.30, Walton Village Hall. There will be a buffet supper, and bar, and we are really pleased that one of our own, the talented Mr Gumbley will be playing for us with his musical partner, Al Gurr. Chris is well known as a musician - you've all played against him, now he will play for you! So, entertainment in place but we are all hoping for a great social evening too;  an opportunity for us to get together, enjoy food and drink and celebrate the Club's 90 years. Tickets are £18 pp, which includes supper. We are hoping for a really good turnout, so buy your tickets from the clubhouse bar, or email Carol and pay by bank transfer.

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 at various times throughout the week (check our court booking page for the current schedule of mix-in and social tennis sessions). 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.
