Well, fortunately it was the right decision to postpone our BBQ on 7th May, with the lovely weather the day before, we were all wondering! Just to let you all know that the revised date for the Tennis Club BBQ at The Plough, Appleton is 12 noon on Sunday 1st July 2012. This is the middle Sunday of Wimbledon so we should all have tennis uppermost in our minds. It would be lovely to see as many people there as possible so please put the date in your diaries. Thanks to Sophie & Matt from The Plough who are again allowing us to use their garden.

7th February 2012: New tennis coaching set up. Adrian Carey, Chairman of the Appleton with Eaton Tennis Club, said: "I am delighted to announce a new coaching arrangement for the Club and urge everyone to view the page Tennis Coaching 2012 and see the details. Coaching is for those at school and non members - and, of course, our regular membership."

Appleton with Eaton Tennis Club opened in 1992 with two courts at the end of Badswell Lane, on land kindly leased to us by the Dick Family.

The club has grown in strength and now has around 30 families and some 70 individual members, from Appleton, Eaton and local villages. We warmly welcome players of all standards.

Through the year there are well attended club sessions: Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings (in summer) and Ladies morning on Fridays. All members are encouraged to enter the annual club tournaments.

The start of season barbeque, ladies’ fun evening and children’s fun tournaments are part of our regular social events.

In summer months there is a full programme of coaching for juniors and adults.

We play all year! We field two men’s and one ladies’ team in the local leagues and play in friendly mixed matches in winter and summer.

If you would like to try the courts a key is held at the village shop which can be borrowed for a small deposit.

New members always welcome: just contact our membership secretary, Adrian Willett on 864691 or come along to a club session.
