Social Play
Social play is a great way to meet other members as well try out your skills against players of varying range of standards. We run sessions for Adults, Seniors and Juniors.
Sessions are normally run on a first come first play basis so you can normally either arrive for the start of the session or when work or other activities permit. If it's your first visit since joining and you feel a little unsure, just let someone know or ask if there is a Committee Member or Captain around as we'd love to meet you and help you settle in.
The format is generally Doubles, playing a full set (or if its really busy a fast-four set) before mixing up and playing in a different four.

STANDARD REQUIRED
As a guide for INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED sessions, you need to possess a consistent Serve with direction, solid Groundstroke skills with a level of accuracy and pace along with being comfortable volleying at the net. Players attending are likely to be meeting the standard of competing in our Teams.
Please do ask if you are unsure if your Tennis skills meet this standard. We ask this to ensure attending will be both an enjoyable experience for you and others players of this standard.
Seniors (Over 60s)
Thursday mornings from 10am - 11.30am (1 Court currently)

Wednesdays from 4pm to 6pm (All Courts) 11-17 years only
This is a supervised session but no coaching is involved and is just a turn up session playing games and matches against other juniors. The session is FREE to members or just £2 for non-members, so bring your friends. Club equipment will be available with access to the club house and its facilities - pool table, table tennis and TV.
