The 2011 tennis season has drawn to an end and overall we have had another good
year. The club maintained its membership with many of the new players from last
season staying with us and making a valuable contribution to team and social
tennis.
Gotherington Tennis Club maintains its value for money with club membership fees
being held at last years levels again. Annual fees for full members are £60 for
adults with a reduced rate for ‘veterans (over 70) at £20 and £10 for juniors –
those under 16 or in full time education.
To reflect the changing needs of the members and the local community we have
made a few alterations to the times of social tennis sessions – these sessions
are open to all members and are highlighted below: -

We are now into the Winter season with play limited to Friday afternoon and
Sunday morning as above. The summer season will commence on Sunday 1st April.
Tennis balls are provided and are replaced on a regular basis.
In addition to club play, members also have the opportunity to play competitive
tennis as the club run 2 men’s and one ladies team in the Gloucestershire summer
Leagues. So if it’s competition you are looking for, or a slightly less
energetic and more a sociable experience in a beautifully scenic backdrop, then
the tennis club could be for you. We really do cater for all standards of
players with the emphasis on fun and enjoyment for all (although if there is a
budding Andy Murray out there….)
We will be holding our start of season Bar-B-Q on Sunday 22nd April beginning at
1pm, followed by ‘Fun tennis’ from approximately 1:30pm onwards. The Bar-B-Q is
open to everyone with a cost of £5 for adults (food provided but please bring
your own drinks) and no charge for children, so make a date in your diary, come
down and see what we’re all about!!
We look forward to another successful and enjoyable season, meeting up with old
friends and hopefully making new ones. For further information about the tennis
club please contact Ian Donnelly (674404) or Andrew Harrington (677039)
