New Coach Martin Shishkov:
As some of you know we have a new coach at the club. Martin Shishkov! Thanks to all those members who have made Martin feel so welcome over the past few weeks. It has been great seeing him with the junior squads, adult groups and taking individual lessons over the summer. I am looking forward to seeing Martin work with more of you over the next few months. Good luck Martin!

NK Cup Finals 2017:
Congratulations to everyone who helped make the NK Cup Finals Day such a huge success. It was a fantastic turnout & there have never been as many people on the club premises! Luckily the weather was kind & the tennis was first class. Unfortunately our 2 club representatives lost their respective finals (Rich Fay in the men’s singles & Diana Roberts & Karen Attard in the ladies vets doubles) after a great effort on the day. They certainly did us proud, as did all the volunteers throughout the day who helped things run so smoothly. In fact, the day went so well the President of North Kent asked if we’d host it again next year?! Watch this space
Many thanks,
Club Captain Phil Layfield
