The floods obviously impacted the club dramatically, but despite this, the club has had a very successful season. Both senior teams made the semi-finals, only to be defeated in their respective matches, and two junior teams only just missed the finals.
The lawn courts are in possibly the best condition for many years, as a result of some hard work over the past few years. The courts coped amazingly well with the floodwater. The lawn courts will remain open until Easter.
The hard court surface has been replaced and looks fantastic and the new surface plays very well.
The success of the juniors this season, coupled with the high quality courts, bodes well for a very successful coming season.
