Tennis for everyone

To keep all you eager players in the know here is the latest update on our exciting court development.
On the evening of the 8th October, Steve and Annette said their farewell to our ageing courts, which had played host to plenty of tennis in recent months. They duly removed the nets and posts ready for the work to begin.
For nearly a week, experienced court constructors went about laying the foundations for our own Rod Laver arena. After treating the original surface to eradicate moss and weeds, a new smooth layer of tarmac was rolled.
With the initial work now done, the courts are out of action for another 3-5 weeks to ‘weather’.
Once sufficiently ‘weathered’, white lines will be applied and play can once again commence.
The green surface is unlikely to be laid until next spring when the weather should be nicer.
So don’t despair, it won’t be long until the thud of a forehand smash can be heard once again.
