Unavoidably, there is a short waiting list to join but the time period can vary. Email our club administrator, Keith Ashby for up to date information about that. We are constantly trying to find new ways of allowing more players a chance to play. There are two public courts at Oaken Grove, just 500 metres to the north of the club at the end of All Saints Ave which are administered by the club. These can be hired on payment of a fee of £5 per hour to the club's administrator, Keith Ashby.
