FAMILY CUP RESULTS

It was lovely to see everyone at our family Cup on Sunday. There were 6 family pairs entered, who all played some fabulous tennis, lots of fun had by all. The Winners were Paul and Sam Powell, who make that two years in a row! They go onto the Kent Competition at Wye Tennis Club. Runners up were Rory McCann and Rob Thomas.

PRO RATA SEPTEMBER MEMBERSHIPS

Its the time of year, where there is just 7 months left of the current membership year remaining. So the membership cost will reduce to the Pro Rata September rate from the 1st of the month.

WEEK 5 of JUNIOR SUMMER CAMPS

Its Week 5 and the final week of the Summer Camps, and of course the weather is still being unpredictable, everything from heavy rain  to heatwave level temperatures. So please be sure to send your Juniors with everything from waterproofs to sunhats to sun lotion! There are still spaces  so don’t forget to book. You can book for just a day or the whole week (4 days).  And you can of course book for  non members, family and friends over the summer holidays too. The link to the page to book is as follows;
