The New lights on Courts 3, 4 & 5 were officially opened on Sunday 28th March at 3pm by the Mayor of Oundle David Chapple at the Open Day. He said “This is fantastic news for Oundle Tennis Club. I am delighted to officially open the new floodlit courts which will benefit players of all abilities. The improvement to the facilities will provide access for more local people, especially juniors, to longer playing hours year round and encourage more people in the area to get involved in the sport with the launch of its extended coaching programme.” 

The lights were the result of a £40,000 18 month  project led by the Treasurer John Whight and supported by the LTA and East Northants District Council.

We were blessed with excellent weather and all five courts remained in use throughout a great afternoon of social tennis, junior and mini tennis taster sessions and a cardio tennis workout.

Stella Hatcher, a founding member of the club, was also presented with lifelong membership for her ongoing services to the club.

The day was also a chance to see the recent clubhouse refurbishment and to sign up with the new R2R coaching team.  30 new members also took advantage of the 10% Discount and no joining fee offer.
