Tennis Clay Courts Maintenance
All the clay court maintenance has now been completed. This work has included decompaction of the surfaces, cleaning of the clay, topping up where required, and relevelling of the surfaces across all five courts.
The courts may feel a little looser underfoot to begin with but will bed down shortly. Please do not sweep the clay away from the courts. In order to keep the courts in good condition, please ensure you sweep after play in the correct way, which is a spiral pattern from outside in – there is signage on each gate with instructions.

Bill Buah Memorial Tournament – Saturday 26 July 2025
There are still a few places left in the above tournament held in memory of much loved Club Coach Bill, who sadly passed away in January 2022. The format will be mixed doubles pairs playing three championship tie-breaks to 10 points per match. Tournament starts at 10.30am, and will end around 2.30pm depending on the number of entries. Cost is £10 per pair – only one player needs to book, and let me know your partner’s name.
