Club Captain Tim Jamieson said “We are really proud of our success in county league tennis, and are so pleased that Dawn’s contribution to tennis has been recognised.

“It’s not just league tennis that we at the club are interested in. We actively encourage club play, and you don’t have to have any experience in tennis to become involved. There is also a very busy social side to the club.

“Club membership is open to all ages. Coaching is provided by the club’s coaching partner Inside Out Tennis. We are also running free Tennis Express courses for beginners, starting Sunday April 22, for six weeks”.
