The 2011 season has ended and the club is closed to allow for winter maintenance.  Opening date and details of membership for the new season will be published early in 2012.

The Club

For a number of years the club struggled to survive, with too few members to finance the upkeep of the courts and clubhouse properly. An influx of young couples and their children in the early 80's changed the club considerably; council grants paid for new surrounding netting and coaching sessions were introduced for junior members. We began to employ professional help with the courts and to hold fundraising events to pay for major annual maintenance. A new clubhouse was built and membership rose, though the friendly and informal atmosphere remained.

The club continues to evolve and prosper. We now play friendly matches against other small clubs (whose members always admire our courts and facilities) and continue our games in the winter on the indoor courts at Fleming Park. Quiz nights, cake sales, tournaments and other activities make membership a social as well as an athletic experience.

The grass court season runs from the end of April to early October (depending on the weather). Adult membership for the 2011 season  is £65 to include all tennis balls on club nights. Juniors pay  £20. There are special introductory rates for adults and families.

Not played tennis for years? Never played on grass? Scared you won't be good enough?! Or think you might be too good?!! Our standard covers quite a range, from those who want a fairly gentle, friendly game to the more competitive players and we have no 'playing in' rule. We find that people improve with practice and everyone is welcome. If there is sufficient demand, coaching can be arranged.

Do come along to the club and meet us, perhaps have a game or two and discover just how well-kept our hidden courts are!
