4th January
Hello All Members,
Having listened to the latest Government’s guidance tonight, the Club will be closed with effect from midnight. Although we are allowed to exercise, the LTA have confirmed that our Club will need to close.
I will keep you updated of any future developments.
In the meantime, take care and keep safe.
Kind regards
Sarah Strawbridge
Chairman
We are a friendly club with excellent facilities and plenty of opportunities for league tennis and social play whatever your age or ability. The club has four all weather floodlit carpet courts (Matchplay 2 surface, newly installed in January 2019) allowing play every day of the year up to 10pm and a comfortable modern clubhouse. We are located at Sharpham Road Playing Fields next to Cheddar reservoir with the picturesque Mendip Hills behind. The club is affiliated to the LTA and Clubmark Accredited.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Regrettably the club had to close the courts to members from today to comply with Government COVID Instruction. Hope to re-open mid February. Stay safe everyone.
Sad times but hopefully we’ll be back on court soon 🤞🎾
Following Today’s announcement of Sedgemoor going into Tier 4 From the 31st December 2020 please refer to the tier guidelines from the LTA.
You may play singles against 1 other person, doubles can only be played as household/bubbles.
North Somerset members who are in Tier 3 cannot attend the club as we can’t accept any one from other tiers.
Junior coaching for tier 4 members can continue but all adult group coaching has to be suspended. Individual adult coaching can still take place.
Stay Safe and have a Happy New Year. Contact Stephen if you have any coaching queries.
Hope everyone has had an enjoyable Christmas. The club is open for play to North Somerset and Sedgemoor players (both now tier 3). Please adhere to social distancing measures.
From Saturday the Club welcome’s back players from North Somerset as the tiering will change.
Reminder no junior night tonight, Junior night to return after Xmas. Term time coaching has now resumed for those in Tier 2.

Hi All, stephen our coach is in the process of putting together some friendly internal box matches for Adults and Juniors. Around 6 players in a Box (ie 5 matches to play) ability and standard will be similar.
Please email stephen if you would like to take part and indicate if you would like to play doubles singles or both and your preferred partner (if you do not have a partner for doubles I will try to find you one). Your doubles partner may be a family member.
Once Stephen know’s who is interested He will set this up and it will be up to players to book a court and organise their own matches.
Thanks
Stephen, Head Coach 07904061301
