Friday evening saw some fun tennis between Weald players and their French counterparts followed by drinks and a fish and chip supper. Thanks to those involved in making this such a success, including Gill Stafford, Kristina Banham, Alan Norburn and David Cumberland. Thanks also to all the players.

About 180 children from Windmills School visited the club today for a tennis taster session. The weather looked upon us favourably and a great time was had by all. The sessions were run by the coaching team ably assisted by some year nines from Downlands School. Basic skills were practiced utilising all our hard courts and whilst there was a great variation in ability and familiarity with the game of tennis all the children seemed to have a great time. Thanks to all those that made it possible.

We are very pleased to announce that we have a new coach for disability tennis, his name is Adam Field and we welcome him to the club. Brad will meet with him ASAP to discuss ongoing coaching and to generally amalgamate him into the coaching team.

There’s still time to get involved by logging into your British Tennis Membership https://www.lta.org.uk/Members-Area/home/benefits/british-tennismembership-wimbledon-ballot-opt-in/

They stepped up to the plate and have been a huge help to me. I should… Read more

League matches were put on hold for the last two weekends, to enable The Weald Club Tennis Championships to take place.

Events included Senior Open and Senior 45’s with singles, doubles and mixed in both categories. There was some exciting tennis, despite the bad weather and some braved the rain to play matches on the clay courts, showing their tough… Read more

The first fixture of the summer Regional Leagues saw the Men’s 1st team make the trip up to Bromley LTC to take on a team with several world-ranked players in their midst, and winning the National Team Title on 3 previous occasions.
