TENNIS COURTS:-

The Tennis Courts have been resurfaced and painted and are playing well. The coming season should not be interrupted as has happened in the past for maintenance work.

All we request to keep in keeping with the new courts is that everyone wears sensible, smart tennis attire and training shoes with none marking soles, please!!

Update 2008
By March 2008 if all goes to plan Court 4 will have been secured to deter vandals and the Tennis court will be cleaned and painted.
Any help with any of the work would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Stan Watt 01772 623615
