There is a jam packed calendar of social tennis through out the year, from one day fun events to organised weekly mix-ups of social tennis with a little added incentive to win! We try to keep all our members happy with the range of tennis on offer. This is on top of all the tennis you will be organising yourself!

Weekly Social Tennis
The weekly social tennis events are a great way to get to know people and get out on court. New members are always welcome and all standards are catered for. Find your tennis tribe, exchange phone numbers and you’re in! Book a court for a follow up friendly, this makes it so much easier to keep tennis in your diary.
The weekly social tennis events are generally a new member’s first introduction to tennis in the club. There is a warm welcome for new members and all standards are catered for. It is a great way to meet people to play with at other times. Get to know other members in the bar afterwards, have a coffee/drink and a chat. You can take part in the whole session or just dip in and out. The advantage of doing the whole session is that you might win a prize! Individual scores are calculated and kept each week so the player with the most points at the end of the session receives a prize!.
