Club Tennis

Club tennis falls into three sorts. First there are the three club nights: the Tuesday night mixed mix-in from 6pm to 9.30pm, the men's mix-in on Wednesday and the ladies mix-in on Thursday, both starting at 6pm. There is also a beginners' and improvers' mix-in on Sunday afternoons, with the start time varying according to the light. All members are welcome to these mix-ins, where they have the opportunity to play with different partners and opponents, changing round after each set. By tradition on club nights tennis is played in a spirit of friendly and supportive competition.

Many members also play in regular fours or informal mix-ins, to which members of an appropriate standard will find themselves invited. Variety in opponents is the spice of tennis; even keeping a regular four going requires a pool of players.

Finally, the club organises a number of competitions: a hugely popular mixed doubles league, both men's and ladies' single leagues, and the club championships, which offer a range of doubles, singles and handicap events each year.
