Our aim is to provide the local community with a vibrant hub of top-class tennis and social facilities, which promotes and encourages playing and enjoyment of tennis for all ages, abilities and backgrounds in a safe and inclusive environment.
Vision for the Running of the Club
Our Vision is to create an energetic, progressive and sustainable tennis club that thrives on providing a full range of enjoyable year-round playing opportunities for both social and competitive tennis to the local community. We will attract players to the best possible tennis experience by continuously improving our programmes to appeal to members and by keeping membership fees affordable while ensuring our financial sustainability.
We will do this by:
- Attracting players from the local community and surrounding areas.
- Achieving a good balance between Club match play and all other recreational tennis to maximise member’s participation and enjoyment
- Providing opportunities for members of all standards to develop their games, through the provision of high-quality coaching.
- Having an active social section where players can turn up and be assured of a good game of social tennis in the mornings, evenings and weekends.
- Encouraging junior members to join in social tennis and the teams as and when they are ready to do so.
- Providing an active social calendar throughout the year with fun events for all ages
- Being financially sound with evidence of good administration and cost monitoring, so that facilities can be maintained and enhanced.
