January 2018 

New tarmac courts have been laid, and available to play with temporary lines as they are due to be re-laid (due to drainage issues) and painted in March / April 2018.

New LED floodlights are in place on tarmac courts making all 6 courts floodlit once more

Tennis express courses are available Tues and Thursday 6.30pm for those new to tennis or returners to tennis. Contact mel@inspire2coach.co.uk or click on: evesham.i2cplaytennis.co.uk

Don’t forget the singles ladder (see ‘play’ or eveshamladder@icloud.com)  and Saturday morning adult coaching via i2ctennis.co.uk – there is availability at present

 

We have good news!

At the most recent Executive Committee meeting of the whole Rowing and Rackets club, we have confirmed there is now enough capital from the sinking fund to start the refurbishment process. 

The old tarmac courts are past their sell-by date and the floodlights on them were removed after they deteriorated. We are delighted to let you know of the staged approach to bring all six courts up to scratch with full floodlighting by 2020:

Stage 1, Autumn/winter 2016: Install new LED floodlights for the old tarmac courts

Stage 2, Autumn 2017: Resurface all 3 tarmac courts with new coloured tarmac

Stage 3, Spring/summer 2020: Renovate and resurface all 3 acrylic courts

i2ctennis have re-started the return to tennis and beginner (tennis express) adult courses that feed into social nights. Cardio tennis sessions will be re-started with the new coaches.

We will keep you up to date with all developments.

We say goodbye to our fabulous bar manager Dave Hoskins as he has been lured away by the charms of working for the police (really?!)…. but we say hello to our new bar manager Tom Beutlner.

The Saturday / Sunday morning Café is really thriving – 9am-midday – papers, bean to cup coffees, full breakfasts or breakfast rolls all available while you laze on the leather sofas watching the new 60″ TV or browse on the free WiFi.

Standard adult single membership fees have been frozen at £12.50 per month. All other membership fees have gone up minimally (approx. 1%). Please do get on direct debit if you are not yet as this can reduce time chasing up those who might have forgotten (!)

Thanks to all tennis committee members who have come on board to make all of this possible. Thanks too to www.inspire2coach.co.uk (see their new website and shop facility) for their fabulous support and to head coach Andy Crowther for bringing new coaches to our club under his expert guidance. If you haven’t experienced the brilliant coaching of Andy and his team yet, contact him via inspire2coach or at the club
