Mince pies, mulled wine. And tennis
We will be running a social tournament on 21 December, in the slot where we usually have the Saturday morning club session. The club brings Waitrose top-of-the-range mulled wine (well, mulled wine from somewhere), you bring mince pies, panettone, pigs in blankets, sausage rolls, ... And the tennis? The version where you play four games with one set of people, the games that your pair wins are added to your running total, you play with another set, ...
Kick-off 9:30. No need to say in advance whether you're coming (after all, it's late December, so the weather could be less appealing on the day than when you said you were coming).

About us
|
We are a small but lively tennis club in Buxton. The club
has a proud history, with tennis having been played Buxton since
1853, but we're not just about our heritage, we are an active club
with plenty of tennis played at every level, from beginners to the higher reaches of the
Sheffield leagues. |

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. All three
courts are floodlit, thanks to a donation from Tarmac in 2015, so
you can play in the evenings as well as in the day (and we play in
almost all weathers as well -- club sessions take place unless the
courts are actually iced over!).

Interested in joining us? If you already play tennis, why not come along to one of our club sessions. Non-members are welcome to come four times, after which you should join the club -- we offer a reduced membership fee for the first year. Club sessions run on Saturday mornings from 9.30 onwards and on Monday evenings from 6pm (these will continue throughout the year now that we have floodlights!).
If you are interested in learning to play (or improving your ability) we have a range of coaching activities to suit everyone from beginners and people who haven't played for years to advanced junior and adult coaching. See coaching for details.
We offer the chance to take part in competitive tennis in the Sheffield and District leagues, as well as just playing when you feel like it.
The club calendar has full details of the various scheduled sessions--any time that is not booked on this calendar is available for members to book.
