CLUB SURVEY

Thank you to all members who took the time to fill in the club survey. The results are being read currently and we will give further feedback in the coming weeks and at the Club AGM. However the first thing to be instigated is the re-introduction of ‘Competition Days’ into the Junior Holiday Programme.

JUNIOR OCTOBER HALF TERM COURSES & COMPETITIONS

With Half Term fast approaching, you can now book onto the Half Term Tennis Courses. The courses are running Monday to Wednesday, with competition days on Thursday & Friday. As always if you have friends & family who wish to join your children on a school holiday course, they are very welcome, however to continue into the new term they would need to be members.  Course booking is available through Tom’s club spark page https://clubspark.lta.org.uk/ThomasWarburtonCoaching

Please note the courses are booked under the Holiday Camp tab on the Clubspark webpage, however the Competitions are on the Coaching Tab, right at the bottom of the page.
