Day 3
3 Months of tennis lost with Covid
Not the most festive of stats I know but thought it needed mentioning how well the Club Committee have wrestled through with all the disruption that Covid has brought us, and how they've had to manage the delicate balance of acting in a timely manner versus taking the time to properly discuss and come up with protocols/guidelines to keep us all as safe as possible.

It's been another successful year for our teams which compete throughout the year. A great feature from the monthly newsletter is the inclusion of match reports which we will continue to update you with going into the new year. Our teams include three men's, two ladies' teams and a mixed team, who compete in the Ipswich League, and two mixed teams who compete in the Lowestoft League. Captains are always looking for new players to join the ranks, if we have too many then we can simply continue creating more teams so more the merrier!
