As most members will be aware, the Club Development team has been working on a project to deliver 2 new all weather, floodlit, artificial clay courts which will be built in place of the 2 existing grass courts to the rear of the clubhouse.

Good progress has been made and our planning application has now been submitted to Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.

The addition of the 2 new courts will be transformational for the club. The courts should be playable in the most adverse weather conditions when the existing hard courts are out of action, significantly increasing the number of playable hours available for members and coaching.

At a later stage we need your help to create attractive seating areas where the existing sheds are, although this is not included in the current plan and will depend on future available resources.

If any member would like to donate any amount, to the next stage of our project that would be very much welcomed. We very much hope as many members as possible will support this initiative in any way they can, but we fully understand that not everyone will be in a position to help, especially given the cost-of-living pressures we are all experiencing.

As a special thank you, each £10 donation automatically gives you one ticket for our Grand Prize Draw to win two tickets* to our Christmas Party, Stayin’ Alive (worth £55 each).

*If you win these tickets and have already purchased tickets, we will refund you. The draw will take place on Saturday 30th September.
