Following the successful regeneration of courts 1 to 4, Brian (with a bit of help from his son) has created this stunning masterpiece. It is rather a large file, so could take some time to load. Viewing is not recommended unless you are on an unlimited data contract!
There have been complaints that there is a shortage of places where players can rest their feet in order to tie up troublesome laces. Brian has the answer to this problem, and (with help from Carl doing the concrete bases) has installed four superb benches which are exactly the right height for tying your shoelaces [...]
The first phase of the upgrade program for courts 1 to 4 was completed on schedule in April 2022. The Treasurer is delighted with this for two reasons: We can now illuminate all four courts for as much as it cost us previously to illuminate just one. (approx £1.70 per hour). The cost of the [...]
Saturday November 6th saw a good turnout for what is pretty much the Annual Stream Clearing exercise. The way this works is that the chaps stand around drinking coffee while the ladies do all the work. Don't believe it? The photos don't lie. Many thanks to all who helped, and particularly to Di [...]
October 5th saw the club host Pam Forrest's excellent annual Cancer Research Tournament. All good fun, an excellent time had by all, and £855 raised for a very good cause. Well done Pam, and thanks to everyone who took part.

The road works on Kington Lane appear to be ahead of schedule. Contractors expect to complete the job and leave by Friday 13th August. Even though work is ongoing, the road is now open on evenings, and will be open all day from Saturday 7th August.
And the winner was ... the weather. Tennis was played between the showers, but not of the deadly serious competition variety. After a couple of sets the heavens opened - at one point courts 1-4 looked to be totally underwater. Still, every cloud and all that. The silver lining was provided by Linda's excellent chicken [...]
The threatened road closure of Kington Lane (to replace a water main) has arrived. And it isn't the 6 to 8 weeks that was initially projected, but FOURTEEN weeks. So as from 28th June it isn't going to be possible to drive to the club from the Thornbury direction until approximately the end of September. [...]
Carpinus betulus (Hornbeams to anyone without a degree in horticulture, botany or latin) are proving to be a bit of a problem for the club and the LTA. In order to get good visibility between the clubhouse and courts 5 & 6, the hornbeams are going to have to be removed. It is all to [...]
