Social Tennis

Hartford prides itself on being a friendly family-orientated club with a large social membership. Turn up and play sessions are available on Monday evenings and Sunday mornings. Over the winter following the addition of floodlights, pre arranged sessions running from 8.00pm - 10.00pm were able to take place. These sessions have proven to be extremely popular, with over seventy different members taking part throughout the winter.

Drill till you drop was introduced this year also to add a little fitness training to the tennis programme. Members were stating that they hated going to the gym, but wanted to be pushed physically a little more. Club coaches John Walsh and David Forrest stetch the players to the limit each week and leave them wishing that they had never mentioned the fact that they wanted to be stretched.

Regular social evenings are organised, culminating with the Annual Club Ball (see details). This is held at a different venue each year and is a fantastic way of waving goodby to another successful year and also of meeting members that you don't normally see on court.
