Squash Beginners Course – Saturday 8 November 2025
There are still places available in the next Squash beginners course with our new coach Matt. This introductory 90 minute session will tell you all you need to know about the game. So, if you are a tennis member, or if you have family and friends, who want to try it out, you’ll find full details and booking here.

Tennis Club Play
The new Thursday afternoon club play session that runs from 1.30-3.30pm has not been that well attended. However, we’re going to continue with the session up to Christmas, so do take the opportunity to play. Remember that this session is open to all adult members.
There have been a few queries about the start of club play, in particular where members have booked courts to play beforehand. The accepted rules of the Tennis committee are that at the start of club play, eg 6.00pm on Thursday, all courts should be vacated and all those attending club play should mix in. This also applies to those who arrive early for club play. You are welcome to warm up beforehand if the courts are free, but this does NOT give you priority to start club play early, and you should all mix in at the start of the session. Please feel free to speak to me if this is unclear.
Also, another reminder that club play balls are provided at the beginning of each session, and should be returned to the clubhouse afterwards. If you arrive for the start of club play, please DO NOT throw away the tubes! These should be kept on each court so that the balls can be replaced/returned. If you leave a club play court and no-one is going on, someone should take responsibility to return the balls – balls should NOT just be left on court.
