Opening Day this Saturday (11th April)

Hello Everyone! Just a note to say that we are hoping to open on Saturday, 11 April at 2pm, weather permitting as always! 

Please do come down if you can. The courts and Club in general are looking in very good shape and our thanks are due to the Committee, together with one or two others, for all the hard work that has gone on over the winter months to achieve this. The court watering system is now in place and functioning well. On behalf of the Club I would like to thank George Archibald, our Honorary President, for his vision and long-term planning in suggesting this idea some years ago. Also, huge thanks are due to John Slater and Gareth Stewart who worked extremely hard in putting together the Planning Application. This has all been brought to a successful conclusion and has been signed off by the Council. Lastly, our thanks are due to one of our long standing members, who wishes to remain anonymous, who made a considerable financial contribution to the cost of this installation. Lastly, welcome back to all members and a particularly warm welcome to any new members who are joining us this year. I trust the lovely weather we have been experiencing over the last few days continues and takes us right through to the Autumn! Have a great tennis season. Kind regards to you all
Wendy Macmillan Chair

Quorn Family Tennis Cup

The Quorn™ Family Tennis Cup provides families with the opportunity to play tennis in an informal, fun competition run by their local venue, while also encouraging families to play tennis more often and to eat healthy food to complement an active lifestyle.

On Saturday 25th April we will be running a red ball family competition.

Who can play in the Quorn Family Tennis Cup?

Any child born 1 September 2004 or later (10U) playing with an adult family member* born 31 August 1996 or earlier.

* adult family member - parent, carer, guardian, step parent, co-parent, uncle, auntie, sibling or grandparent.

The winners of the Quorn Family Tennis Cup

The winners of each red ball tournament will earn the opportunity of a day out at a Quorn Family Tennis Cup event held on the qualifying weekend of a pre-Wimbledon grass court tournament in May or June.

Each pair will have the chance to play against other winners on the day as well as watch the professional players in action.
