Lancaster Tennis Club on Lune Road is launching its new tennis season with an Open Day on Saturday 16th April (2.00 – 4.00pm) for anyone interested in trying out tennis and maybe becoming the next Andy Murray!

This is for both adults and juniors, from aged five upwards, and is free of charge. It’s a  great chance to try out the Club’s wonderful refurbished astro turf courts, funded by Sport England.

No prior registration is needed – just turn up – and the club can provide balls and racquets.

The Club has wheelchair facilities and is now offering coaching sessions especially for wheelchair players – special wheelchairs have been obtained, funded through the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust.

Before this, on Friday March 25th, there will be the Club’s usual popular adult round robin Good Friday tournament.  This is a great opportunity for existing and new adult players to dust off their racquets and play good tennis in a very social environment.

This year the tournament will start at 10.30am. No prior registration is required and only a modest fee of £5 is charged, which includes a BBQ item. Any queries about the tournament should be made to Paddy Maher on tel: 07764 251430.

There will prizes for the winners, refreshments available and a raffle.  Just turn up on the day to play and enjoy.
