TENNIS UPDATE:

DINA ON WINNING STREAK AT BRITISH TOUR EVENT

A huge well done to Dina for reaching the semi-finals of the Women’s British Tour Event in Woking. Dina beat the no. 3 and no. 8 seed along the way.

ANNUAL CLUB TOURNAMENT UPDATE

The Annual Club Tournament is under way, with a few results already coming through. Well done to those who have already managed to play their first matches and please make sure that all matches are played by the play-by dates for each round.

ON-COURT ETIQUETTE/BEHAVIOUR REMINDER

As we enter the summer months, and with more junior players at the club, may we take this opportunity to remind adult members of their behaviour and conduct on the tennis court. Foul and sexist language and/or shouting is unacceptable. Please be mindful of others playing on nearby courts.

We want all members to enjoy their tennis, so please be respectful of one another at all times.

Reminders: please do not walk across another court while a match is taking place. Please wait to be invited to retrieve your ball. And, do not enter or leave a court during a game on an adjoining court.

All club members should endeavour to protect and further the club’s good reputation at all times.

TENNIS SCHOOL RETURNS

Tennis School restarts this week - the summer season is in full swing and there are still a few spaces left in sessions, so don’t miss out on getting your tennis fix in the sun.

JUNIOR SOCIAL

Junior Social resumes this Friday following the half-term break, so please book on to avoid missing out.

HERTS SCHOOLS FINALS

A reminder that on Monday, June 23 RLTSC is hosting the Herts Schools finals of the Nicola Mabbitt Trophy. This finals day will use all nine astro courts from 9am to 4pm. Courts 10 and 11 remain available for members to book as usual. Herts Tennis are very thankful to RLTSC for hosting this “tennis highlight of the year” for Herts secondary schools.
