Gloucester Wotton Tennis Club has welcomed many former members of Gloucester Civil Service Club following the closure of the Civil Service Club due to the loss of their playing facilities.
A beginning of season "round robin" mixed doubles tournament was held at Wotton on April 16th and was an opportunity for previous and new members of Wotton to get to know each other and to enjoy playing together. After closely contested matches Mike Newdeck and Nida Liuba were the winning pair with the tournament benefitting from the glorious April sunshine! Similar social tournaments will be held at about monthly intervals during the summer.
Wotton social tennis sessions have been boosted by the influx of former Civil Service members and Wotton now has 3 Men's and 3 Ladies teams in the Gloucestershire league.
The Club is bringing two grass courts back into use to cater for the increase in membership along with Coach Graham Baum conducting junior coaching sessions on Saturday mornings.
More information on the club and how to join can be found here. Membership enquiries should be made to Wotton Secretary, Dave Padfield (tel: 01452 302818), and coaching enquiries should be made to Graham Baum (tel:01452 840280).
