Below is some information that will enable you to get the most out of your membership.
There are details about Club Sessions, how to book a court, tennis coaching, our Club Policies, the Jackpot 100 Club and a list of Committee Members.
We run social events throughout the year – both fun tennis tournaments and other events – and members will be notified of these when they are planned.

Members Playing with Non-Members
The LTA and ClubSpark, in discussions with the government, have added the ability to list all players in a booking session – a version of Track & Trace – so that the club can be aware of exactly who has played on the courts. This is obviously very important for the ongoing Covid-19 situation but is also very useful for the overall management of the club.
As part of this, ClubSpark has now added a much simpler way to collect guest fees for non-members. As a reminder we offer a reduced hourly fee of £4 (£8 full hour rate) for all non-members playing with a member.
During the booking process you must now ‘Add Participant’ and select whether they are a ‘Member’ or ‘Guest’; if ‘Guest’ the £4 per hour fee is automatically triggered.
Court hire and membership fees are needed to ensure that the running costs of the club are met which includes regular re-surfacing of the courts, renewal and maintenance of the lights, clubhouse maintenance and improvement, provision of balls for club sessions and matches.
Junior Tennis
We offer a fun affordable range of junior coaching for all abilities, Junior Club Membership for only £5 per year and Junior Club Sessions during school holidays.

Tennis Coaching
We have a long-standing coaching programme run by LTA level 4 registered coach Tonia Gooderham. There is a full programme all year round for juniors and adults and more information can be found via the links below.
