A message for the parents of the Mini Tennis players who attend coaching on Saturdays - why not try having "a hit" on the outdoor courts? Club Coach Ian Watson will be organising some adult beginner/rusty racquets coaching - then you can enjoy playing with your children. Maybe we can arrange a parent/child mini tennis competition. The full club programme for this year will be on the website shortly please take a look and put the dates in your diary.
