Sheena Does Strictly

Posted 8th November 2019

Club member Sheena Marriott is going to be dancing her way to raise money for Katherine House Hospice. This charity is fundamental to those with life limiting and changing conditions, who depend upon free care from dedicated Katherine House carers and volunteers. She will be dancing, twirling and shimmying her way to try and win the glitter ball trophy in Strictly Stafford 2019, to be held at the County Showground on 29th November. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and it would mean a lot to her to have your support. You can donate directly at her justgiving page.

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 recently repainted 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 (see our court timetable for details). 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 with FREE weekly team coaching sessions in the winter. Our club championship competition runs each summer and an open veterans competition runs in the winter.

Our thriving junior section of over 60 members has a supervised mix-in on a Friday evening and priority access at other set times. Competent junior members can be ‘promoted’ to allow them to play in senior mix-ins.

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.

Within the last few years we have laid a new patio and social area, with outdoor table tennis table, picnic tables and benches and this has added an extra dimension to the atmosphere at the club.
