Our Club always welcomes new members and summer is the perfect time to play.
We had a busy year planned with tournaments, coaching, junior matchplay and competitions, club play nights as well as the all important social events. As restrictions are lifted we will be able to do more but right now you can get on court and enjoy playing.
