Each Sunday we run a free social hit at the club, which is open to both members and non-members*.

Social starts at 9:30 and runs until 12:30. We rotate sets of doubles across 3 courts (courts 4,5 and 6) to ensure everyone gets a chance to have a hit.

All levels welcome.

Please also note:

It is an informal gathering and there is no guarantee of attendees.
A volunteer is sometimes in attendance to help organise but not always.
If all 3 court are full you may have to wait till a set is completed.
If courts are not fully occupied, ask if you can join in.
Some Sundays you may play four games and swap, other Sundays you may play six games before swapping.
There is an expectation that you will play with a variation of players.

*Non-members have a limit of 4 sessions. We welcome you to trial the club and meet other players to decide if our club is a good fit for you.
