Social Tennis
Men’s Club Night: Men’s club night takes place every Thursday at 7.30pm from October to May. Sun, rain or snow there’ll always be someone there. All levels are welcome and this is a great way to meet other members while getting in a bit of practice. We usually organise a mixture of doubles matches but if you prefer singles we will always try and keep everyone happy.
Mixed Club Night: Mixed club night runs every Wednesday from April to August starting at 7.30pm. This is social tennis at its most social, so go easy on that serve !

Ladders
We have a year round Mens Ladder for those of you with a competitive edge. All players are ranked based on the previous year’s singles club championship. Any member not entering the club championships is added in alphabetical order. Any new members joining will be added to the bottom of the ladder.
If you think you should be higher on the ladder then it’s time to make a challenge and set the record straight!
Ladder rules can be found on the clubhouse notice board
