Trustee’s Report 2025/26
New Clubhouse
Our new Clubhouse opened in March 2026 It won the Suffolk LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) award for best clubhouse, and was used to host the Suffolk LTA awards ceremony in March.
Tennis
Our adult coached sessions continue to be very popular, both with our members and the public. We hold regular social tennis sessions, which are very well attended. We also offer coach led sessions in Pickleball and Paddle. Our coaches provide classes for children at weekends and during school holidays at the club, and evening coaching during on weekdays.
We hold regular tournaments within the club, and we enter teams into local League events. Accessible tennis: we provide tennis coaching for wheel chair users, and our Walking Tennis Group is popular for players with restricted mobility. Private lessons are also popular. Now that the clubhouse is open we will using a keypad code to access the courts. This will enable the public to rent courts, in addition to joining our coach led classes.

Membership numbers remain stable around 240. We are reducing our junior member price to encourage more younger players to join.
Safeguarding and Welfare
No safeguarding or welfare issues have been raised.
Social
