Matches
We would like to find out who wants to play in league matches -- there is a question on the membership application form about this, but not everyone fills in the form when renewing their membership, and our records are probably incomplete/out-of-date. We have teams entered in the mixed, ladies' and men's leagues. If you would like to play in any of these please contact one of the team captains --- Kate Tagg (mixed team, katet512@gmail.com), Sally Gould (ladies' team, sallyclaireuk@yahoo.co.uk), Andy Storer (men's team, storerandrew@hotmail.com).

Sunday social sessions
The club have decided to trial a Sunday Social session from 4pm-6pm on Sundays for the next 4 weeks, starting Sunday 11th April. The session will aim to be a relaxed opportunity for people to meet and play with others. Everyone is welcome, particularly members and potential members who do not yet access the Club Sessions but wish to gain confidence and play with more people. The session will initially be facilitated by Mike Badman and Carol Taylor. Hope to see you there!

Courts re-opening
The courts will re-open for general play from Monday March 29. This includes singles and doubles, and "organised group activity", which seems to cover club sessions. The LTA guidelines say that singles and doubles is subject to the rule of six, though it is hard to see how that applies, and that a maximum of 12 people *per court* is allowed for organised group activity, which again seems to have little relevance to our standard club sessions. As before, using hand sanitiser before and after playing would be a sensible precaution.
See you all soon. Hope we get a summer of unrestricted tennis and sunshine.

About us
|
Buxton Tennis Club is part of the Buxton Cricket, Bowls and Tennis
club and the site on Park Road was first established by the Cricket
Club in 1853. Major tennis tournaments were held in Buxton from 1883
and it was the venue for the All-England Ladies Doubles Tennis
Championships until 1951. The current club is the proud heir of this
tradition, providing a range of social and competitive tennis for all
standards of player.

The 3 all-weather courts are set in a beautiful location alongside the
cricket ground and bowling green with open views to the south-west,
and are within easy walking distance of Buxton Town Centre.
