Our annual open tennis tournament, sponsored by SLAZENGER, takes place on the week of 11-18th July. Due to the construction work for the indoor courts and the resulting reduction in courts, the tournament is reduced in size this year.

But we would like to see members come down and enjoy watching some great tennis. There will be a number of club juniors taking part in the tournament so come along and give them your support.

If you are planning on getting a new racket or a pair of shoes..... hold on........You can now buy rackets, shoes and accessories at the Club....all at competitive prices that match the internet.

We are able to offer most tennis and squash rackets at internet matched prices including…Wilson, Head, Prince, Babolat, Yonnex and will also stock K Swiss shoes plus a bigger range of accessories / balls/grips etc.

A shoe display cabinet is installed just at the entrance to the café bar and another cabinet with rackets & accessories is placed in reception.

We  also have access to a range of tester rackets so members are able to try before they buy.

We also have a catalogue available to browse and order from a wider range of goods such as kit bags.

We  carry a stock of shoes, grips and some popular rackets but other items will be only a few days delivery. ....and deliveries come to the Club so need to be at home waiting for the courier with the new racket or pair of shoes to arrive...we will just call/email you when it arrives here!
