Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We were pleased to welcome new members in 2024/25 and our members across all categories remains circa 250.

The vibrancy of the club continues to flourish and the majority of club opening times (especially times previously underutilised) are now utilised by different groups including 2 weekday sessions attended by retirees and mature members, club practice nights on Monday for team players, taster sessions on a Tuesday and Thursday evening run by the coaching staff and well attended social play sessions on Wednesday evening and Sunday morning.

We continue to run our inclusive tennis programme and we have a group of disabled young adults (Peppercorns) who have been coming for nearly 6 years now and continue to have coached tennis sessions every week on a Tuesday.

The new members that have joined over the past few years have integrated well, and the social aspects of club membership have flourished amongst the members with many finding it a source of stability, fun and friendship in these difficult financial times.

Our free pay n play membership continues to provide accessibility to top class tennis courts for those in the community who do not wish to become full members but just to play as and when they are able.
