April: Start of Season

The new season’s about to begin!  Here’s what’s coming up…

STARTING TUESDAY 29th MARCH:  CLUB NIGHTS
Club Nights are back!  Last Summer’s friendly, inclusive Tuesday Club Nights were always busy and much enjoyed.  Everyone is very welcome, so come and join in, EVERY TUESDAY FROM 5.30 ONWARDS.

STARTING THURSDAY 31st MARCH:
TEAM PRACTICE NIGHTS

Team Practice Nights are for everyone interested in playing team tennis.  They’re EVERY THURSDAY FROM 5.30 ONWARDS.

STARTING FRIDAY 1st APRIL: FAMILY FRIDAYS
We’re excited to announce the return of Family Fridays, starting on 1st April, 4.30 to 5.30pm. This is a free session for children and parents to get together on court and enjoy coach-led drills and games. It’s also a fantastic social event for families to meet each other and have fun playing tennis.  It was hugely popular last year, and we hope this will continue. For all the details, please contact Jenny Collins at plunkett007@hotmail.com

Our popular Junior Tennis Camps will be back in the Easter holiday! The dates are Monday 11th to Wednesday 13th April, and Tuesday and Wednesday 19th and 20th April.  For all details of age-groups, times and prices, and to book your place, just click on
Woodstock Tennis Club – Holiday CampsMembers please note: the camps are only in the mornings, and at least 2 courts will still be available from 9-11, and 1 court 11–1.15.

TOURNAMENT: SUNDAY 10 APRIL
To start off the new season, Club Afternoon on Sunday April 10th will be in the form of a (very sociable) tournament.  It may well be followed by optimistic, looking-forward-to-summer strawberries.  (If the available strawberries have too high a carbon footprint there’ll be Pimms!)   Put the date in your diary: SUNDAY 10th APRIL, 1.30.   It’ll be a doubles tournament, and partners will change every game, so you don’t need a partner to enter.  To enter, simply email woodstocktennisclub@gmail.com saying “Yes, I/we want to take part in the April tournament!”

TEAM TENNIS
The Winter League season is almost finished – congrats to our Ladies B for winning promotion and to our Men’s C who are on the brink (fingers crossed) of winning their division.  The Summer League starts straight after Easter, and if you’d like to join a squad we’re always delighted to welcome new team players – just email and let us know.
