A new look
Have you seen the improvements? And we’re not just talking about our now-advert-free website ! We’ve been working hard outdoors this summer: the clubhouse has been repainted, inside and out, and we’ve got a new carpet (kindly donated by Bodmin Flooring Centre), and Cardinham Parish Hall have kindly given us some chairs. The toilet area, too, has been refreshed, with leaks sorted, walls painted, vinyl flooring laid, and new lighting installed. Meanwhile, lots of volunteers have helped clear the outside area, with hedges cut, fences repaired, grass mown, paths cleared – a massive thanks to all involved!
Planning for a brighter future
But there’s lots more to be done, and we will be inviting everyone in (and near) the parish to join us in this exciting venture, as we seek to build a sporting venue fit for the future, that enables all of us, young and old, to enjoy a wider variety of sports and improve our physical and mental wellbeing.
We have a plan – firstly, to replace our very tired tennis court with a hard-wearing surface that can safely accommodate additional activities, such as netball, hockey, or even knock-about football. Secondly, despite the recent refurbishment, the clubhouse is ageing, and we look forward to having a more accessible clubhouse to serve as a hub for more sports, where walking, cycling and running groups can gather, where activities focusing on physical, mental and emotional health can be held, whether it’s Yoga or Pilates, or sports-themed children’s parties or whatever. This will take time – and resources – but with your support, we can make a difference.
We’ll be applying for grant assistance, but for this we will need your help to raise our own funds locally – so please do join us in this endeavour. Support our fundraising events, invest in our future – exciting times are coming, and we’d love you to join us on this journey, whether as a member (new or existing), or simply as a person who wants to make a difference.
Winter membership
One way to support the club is to take advantage of our discounted winter-memberships. If you’re not a member, why not join now, and for just £8 for a junior (under 25s), £36 for an adult, £59 for a couple, or £67 for a family, you can enjoy free use of our facilities until our regular ‘year’ begins on 1st May 2026. Full details here.
And remember, if you’re not yet sure whether tennis is for you , or maybe you feel a bit rusty, why not pop round any fine Wednesday evening from 6pm with a pair of sensible shoes, and join us for a bit of tennis? Or even pickleball? We’ve got rackets and balls for both…
