Social Event: Quiz Night, 19 November 2011
The Quiz Evening planned for this evening, Saturday 19th November, has been cancelled due to a lack of support. We will try to arrange another event in the Spring.
Lights on Court 2
The lights on Court 2 are now in working order. Thank you for your patience whilst this problem was being resolved.
Turn the lights off when not in use
Please help reduce our electricity bill and help the environment by switching off floodlights when you have finished playing if it is evident that the court is not required by others.

Winter Calendar is Updated
The rest of the Winter calendar of league matches has been updated. You can find these by navigating to the calendar page. You will find that we’ve added two new features to help you plan ahead.
- The Name of the match follows the standard ‘Home Vs Away’ to help you see at a glance which games are home and which are away.
- The post code for all match locations has been added to help you plan how to get to an away game (or indeed to Avondale)
Good Luck with your matches!
