Tuesdays are back – new match season
As the match season starts, we return to having courts available on Tuesdays from 7.30pm – 10.00pm. All club members are welcome to play on courts not used for matches or team practice – check the website for availability.
11th July – AGM.
Due to an event at the school on Friday 12th, the sports hall will be unavailable to the club on Thursday 11th July. We will instead be holding the club’s AGM in the classroom at the school, starting at 8pm.
While there will be no games that evening, we hope as many members will attend the AGM as possible. Following the AGM, members are invited to an informal social event at the Black Horse in Bilton (from approx. 9pm).
Club nights return to Thursdays – 4 courts
Club nights return to normal, Thursdays 7pm to 9.30pm, four courts. Tuesday courts will resume in September.
There are still a few subs due, so if you haven’t paid for the summer, please pay your subs to Rosemary as soon as possible.
Club night schedule changes
Starting this week and continuing until 13th June, club nights will be on both Tuesdays and Thursdays each week; however we will only have 2 courts. Both nights will be 7.00pm – 9.30pm. Members are welcome to attend both sessions, but courts might be busier than normal. The schedule change is due to one half of the hall bring set out for school exams. The website has full details of all club dates and times for the rest of the year.
Easter break
We have two courts available this Tuesday (9th April) and club night as usual this Thursday (11th April). We then have a two week break over Easter. Summer season starts Thursday 2nd May.

We have a spare place at the Britannic Tournament this Sunday, as one player has had to drop out. If you would like to play, please speak to Simon or Steve.
Four courts free this Tuesday
The club has four free courts this Tuesday as the teams having away matches this week. Let’s try and get as many members along on Tuesday so there’s no empty courts! Tuesday courts are available from 7.30pm.
Britannic Tournament Sunday March 17th
This year’s Britannic Tournament will run from 10am to 6pm on Sunday March 17th at the Rugby School Sports Centre in Horton Crescent.
