Mortimer Tennis Club

Has anyone left a tennis net height measuring chain at the courts on the fairground? Message me with a description if you think it's yours.

As we approach the new season, I thought I would post an update for members and non-members alike.

Firstly, the bad news - for the first time in five years we felt that the membership fees should increase for the coming year. However, the club now has an extra session all year round on Saturday mornings.

Weekly club sessions:
Monday 10am to 11am (1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026)

Tuesday 6pm to 8pm - Club Night (1st April to 30th September)

Once a month on a Friday from 5pm to 7pm - Club Round-Robin (April to September)

Saturday 11am to noon (1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026)

Once a month on a Saturday from 11am to 1pm - Club Round-Robin (October to March)

Sessions will not take place on 22nd December, 27th December or 29th December 2025

Dates for the diary:
Christmas Meal - 5th December 2025 at the Horse and Groom.

Important Reminders
Don't forget that membership of the club entitles you to book courts outside club hours for £3 per court per hour. That's a 50% discount on the normal price. If you play in Mortimer regularly and are not members, it would be worth considering joining the club.

If you are a member and not already on the Club What's App group, please speak to Simon, Val or Lorna so that your name can be added.

Welcome to two new members who have just joined - Asanka and Lel Wijeratne. We hope to welcome a few more as the season progresses.
