15 January 2026 - Sandwich Tennis Club is extending its floodlit clay and hardcourt tennis courts, to include Padel courts and a dedicated Pickleball court.

At over 112 years old, Sandwich Lawn Tennis Club in Sandown Road is part of Sandwich’s cultural heritage and so to keep the club’s racquet sports facilities up to date, we are adding Padel.

Padel is super fun cross between tennis and squash, played on an enclosed court about a third the size of a tennis court. On the continent it is everywhere and the UK is rapidly catching up. Padel is easy to learn, appeals to all ages and is fun from the very first go. The sport tends to be very sociable and courts have glass walls, so are great for spectators too!

5 October 2025 - Congratulations to the winners of this year's charity tournament - Anne Hopper and Predrag Krsmanovic, whose names have been added to the honours board in the clubhouse.

Fiona & Hshen were joint runners up for the women's matches, and Bishan for the men's.

The beneficiary this year is Age Concern Sandwich, who received £161.

7 September 2025 - Thank you to everyone who entered this year’s club tournament - congratulations to the finalists and especially to the winners.
