The new season has got off to a good start. The newly promoted Ladies A Team are now in the Division 1 of the Slazenger Huddersfield & District Tennis League, while the B team is playing in Division 3. The men's team is doing really well in Division 4, where they are at top of the table, having lost just one match and drawn one. The boys' team are finding life in Section E difficult but it is giving the youngsters great experience.
The dry weather at the beginning of the season made getting the shale courts ready difficult, but members'hard work paid off and the courts are now playing better than ever, thanks to all who gave of their time to maintain what we believe are the best shale courts for miles around. Shale courts are becoming rare, but having played on them you will see why they are favoured by many seasoned players, and are less aggressive to our joints and muscles than harder surfaces. A special thanks to all who generously gave of their time
The club house is looking bright and welcoming after repainting, using paint donated by PPG Architectural Coatings UK and with new carpet tiles donated by Interface FLOR. Why not come down to President's Day (17th July 2011) to see the new look.
The Open Day was very successful, with many new members joining up and youngsters joining our coaching scheme, which is partly funded by Sport England's £7,000 award.
Wednesday Club night has proved popular again, and for the last few Wednesday evenings all three courts have been fully used. Ifty Patel is continuing as the club coach and organises several sessions for youngsters and adults alike. He can be contacted on 07961961443 or email: iftypatel@hotmail.com
