Members Evening Social ‘Gala’ Tennis

​

Members and ‘newbies’ are most welcome to join our organised social tennis on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings during school terms in our Gala social competition nights!

 

Gala is a fun night of social tennis for players of all standards and ages.  It starts at 7pm or 7.30pm depending on the competition. Wednesday nights are perfect for those who are either new to the game or returning to tennis after some time away. You can join Gala at any time during the term. Players and their opponents are graded so that matches are socially competitive. Come along to try out playing and see if you want to play regularly – no obligation to become a member at this point.
