MAY BANK HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT
Thanks to everyone who played in our TIE-BREAK TOURNAMENT (picture above) at the start of the month.  A really enjoyable afternoon – we’ll run another in similar vein soon!

HENMANS TOURNAMENT
Our annual Henmans Junior Tournament at Woodstock – now proudly in its 26th year and a firm fixture in the Oxfordshire tennis calendar – is coming up as usual in the half-term holiday.  It’s jointly sponsored this year by Blenheim and by Finders Keepers estate agents.
MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE that from Monday 27th to Friday 31st the courts will therefore be busy each day from 8.30 till about 5 o’clock, but free every evening, and CLUB NIGHTS ON TUESDAY 28th AND THURSDAY 30th WILL RUN AS USUAL.  There is still time for juniors to enter – the closing date is 10am this coming Friday (17 May).  There are events for boys and girls in all the following age groups: 8U, 9U, 10U, 12U, 14U and 18U.  All details are on Henmans Woodstock Tournament 2024 (all events one day) | LTA – Tennis for Britain

CLUB SESSIONS:  TUESDAY EXTRA!
With our social tennis on Club Nights proving so popular, starting this Tuesday (14th) we’re running an extra session every week, on TUESDAY AFTERNOONS, 1.30-3.30.  So there will now be:
TUESDAYS 1.30-3.30 AND 5.30 ONWARDS: Social Sessions for everyone.
THURSDAYS FROM 5.30 ONWARDS: Team Practice Nights for all members keen to play team tennis.
And our thriving SUNDAY AFTERNOON Social Sessions run of course throughout the year, every Sunday, 1.30 – 3.30.     Come and join in!  See you soon!

RUSTY RACKETS
Our coaches are running a new beginners’ tennis class designed for those who are new to the sport or who have been away from the court for a number of years. Sessions will teach the basic techniques and cover all the shots in the game. Sessions will take place on Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00pm starting from Wednesday 5th June. To book your place please visit the following link:
