Club Details
In 2023, we celebrated our centenary, and we are proud to have developed The Avenue into the successful grass roots family club that it is today.

In recent years the club has been transformed with a new pavilion, floodlit courts (curfew 10pm) and a separate junior court and we are pleased to announce more exciting improvements coming for 2024.

By the end of 2023, we will have completed the installation of solar panels on the club house roof and once that is completed, we will be converting our floodlights to better, brighter, more eco-friendly LED lights early in 2024.

Together, solar panels and LED lights will provide a more sustainable solution for our energy consumption and improved playing experience for our members and guests. The ability to sell any surplus energy back to the grid, will ultimately allow the club to provide floodlights for free to our members.

But that’s not all…..in March 2024 we will be fully refurbishing our courts!

Tennis Shoes
Tennis Shoes
Naturally we are anxious to maintain the condition of our new court surfaces and so insist that everyone using the courts wears proper tennis shoes. Tennis shoes are flat bottomed, so trainers are not suitable as they have chunky grooves on the bottom that damage the surface.

 

 

Car parking at the club
There is no parking available at the tennis club but it is easy to park nearby and you can find full details on our Contact Page.
