Welcome to Otford Tennis Club!

 

We are a friendly club situated in the picturesque village of Otford.

We have 3 all weather courts, floodlights, and a club house with changing rooms.

New entrance gate installed - members need to exchange keys.  See "News" below.

 

News

New gate - your old key must be exchanged

We have a new gate in place at the entrance to the club, giving access to the entire club grounds.  This incorporates a new lock, so members who have a key for the padlock need to exchange this for a key for the new gate.

Contact Alison Dykes, or bring your old key to the club AGM on 1 March.

Court re-surfacing - complete

Re-surfacing of the top 2 courts has been completed - except for final painting which will happen in the spring.  You are now free to use the courts as usual.

Also a temporary new gate is in place at the entrance to the club.  The permanent new gate will be installed in a few weeks, at which time club members will be issue with new keys.

Thank you for your patience during the re-surfacing work.

Winter tennis for full members - Tuesdays & Thursdays

Club members of various standards enjoy the club evenings throughout the year.  Tuesday and very oftern Thursday club sessions have continued through the winter.  Play is 7.30 - 9.30pm; we often finish up with a drink in The Crown or The Bull.  With the weather doubtful at this time of year, if you're thinking of coming along then contact Julian Ward to make sure that it's on as usual.

Coaching Programme

Coaching is now being run by the coach Max Robinson.  Max has been coaching at the club since the beginning of the year so will be known to many of you.  The programme of coaching includes group classes for mini orange, mini green, junior and adult players, and individual lessons are also available.  For details contact Max Robinson.

Mini red coaching, and ladies’ Friday morning coaching, will continue to be run by Otford Mini Tennis Club / Mary Evans.  Contact Mary Evans for more information.

Forthcoming Events

Annual General Meeting

followed by Cheese & Wine

Monday 1 March, 8.00pm

The AGM will be held in the Hope Room of the Otford Village Hall.  All members are welcome!  We get the formalities over with as quickly as we can and then cheese & wine follows.

The agenda includes these key items:
bullet

Elections for the club committee.  As a club run by volunteers we are always keen for members to join the committee; it's all very friendly and it really isn't much of a commitment.  Contact Alison Tilbury or speak to one of the other committee members if you want to get involved.  A little more information is on the nomination form.

bullet

Rule changes.  The committee is proposing a new set of rules, following a template from the LTA.  The effect of the changes should not be significant, but feel free to compare the current rules and the proposed new rules.

Visiting speaker - Harri Norford, Kent Tennis Development Officer.
