A: Yes, categorically all members prefer the new courts. Approximately an increase of 12-14 hrs per week extra usage.

A: We now have school links with St Matthews who use the courts, but generally all ages / abilities
Q: Has there been an increase in team playing?
A: No increase, but there is a definite preference for teams to use our new courts for home matches. And it's easier to field a team as members now look forward to playing!!
Q: Is it easier to retain members?
A: Most certainly, but too early to tell.
Q: Is your coaching programme growing?
A: Yes, it’s now full. We have just enlisted an assistant coach which will give us scope to allow our programme to grow.
Q: How many players are “new to the game”?
A: At least 10 parents of players in our junior programme have started playing in our introductory sessions.
“ Generally I feel the club has been ‘lifted’ by the introduction of the new facilities with members jockeying to get on courts 7 & 8 at all times and the coaches loving the improved surface to teach on. Our grand opening was a great success with the help of Bright Ideas for Tennis and Marcus Willis at a late time of the season and we hope to maintain that momentum into the new year and beyond.”
