This is when players mix together to play doubles. This is on Sunday mornings (08:00 till 14.00) for members of a suitable standard and an Intermediate and team players session is Wednesday evenings (18:00 till 22:00).
At these times only doubles is played, one set and then partners are changed.

On Wednesday evenings the flood lights are provided free of charge for Social Play.
Should you prefer a more leisurely game you could always join our Wednesday morning session. (09.30-12.00)
On Thursday evenings Roberto, one of the Club Coaches, is available to give beginner’s tips and arrange beginner’s social play at a reasonable group rate.
Twice a year we hold our American Tournament sessions, these are rounds of four games before changing partners for the next round, points are one for each game won.
The club also holds annual Club Championships, from May to September, open to all members.
