The club is based at the Tewkesbury Road Sports ground (Map). There are four courts, two are floodlit.

The club runs three open social sessions per week which anyone can play at as well as entering teams in the Gloucestershire league. Members may use the courts at any time providing no matches are taking place. The club welcomes players wanting to either play socially, competitively or both. Members are entitled to use the courts at any time outside league match fixtures and free balls are available.

Social Tennis
Social tennis is played throughout the year on Tuesday and Thursday evenings ( 6pm-8pm approx) - please bring £1 contribution towards the lights during the winter; Saturday afternoons ( 2pm-4pm, 2 courts only) and Sunday mornings ( 10am-12pm, 2 courts only).

Social tennis is open to all members and all ages and abilities are very welcome to join us. We encourage players to mix in, playing 8 games each time before mixing up the pairings. Tennis balls are provided.

For further information please contact Heather Bailey on 01242 692761.

Matches
This season the Club has 4 ladies and 5 mens teams in the Gloucestershire League. Home matches are played on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and will normally take up courts 2 and 3. Occasionally it may be necessary to use all 4 courts or to play some matches on Saturday afternoon, but these events will be detailed either in the Membership Card or on the Club notice board. The Membership Card gives details of all league matches. For members keen to impress the team captains, we hold early season practice  nights at which one aim is to seek out new talent for the league campaigns.  At anytime, other than Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons, when courts are free they are available for members to arrange their own games. Whenever there are people waiting for a court the general rule is that the court must be given up at the end of the current set.

For team practices we should have two floodlit courts and we hope a half-lit (from the adjacent football lights) court for evening sessions, and at least three, possibly four courts for the weekend sessions. This is the time to turn up if you are interested in playing league tennis this year. Please give Matt Clempson a call on 01242 522461 or 07906 364726 if you want any further details.

Team practice resumes week beginning 28 February, arrangements as follows.
  Men: Fridays from 6pm, Sundays from 2pm
  Ladies: Mondays from 6pm, Saturdays from 1pm

Tournaments and League Tennis
