We are one of the oldest and most successful clubs in Cambridge, with the club being founded in 1926.
We typically have around 35 adult members, so there is a good mix of people and plenty of opportunity to be on court at club nights.
We have an active Junior Club, which runs sessions on Saturday afternoons. Please see the Junior Club page for details.
Matches are played on Fridays evenings. Club nights for adults are on Mondays and are of a high standard, but not so competitive.
Friday, September 12, 2014 at 2:59PM We are ordering another run of kit for the Junior Club. The final date for orders is 19th September.
If you want to buy kit, please download the order form and return it before the closing date.
Friday, September 12, 2014 at 11:49AM Just a reminder that, as matches have not yet started, there will be courts available to the club this evening at Cambridge Regional College. The session will run from 8:15 to 10:15pm, after Junior Club. The college is on Kings Hedges Road, postcode CB4 2QT.
We will probably get about three weeks in at CRC before matches start. Club nights will continue as normal on Monday evenings at The Manor.
Regards,
Chris Hurlstone

Subscriptions for the new season are: £150 for full adult members and £100 for students in full time education. These are to be paid by 30th September, and anyone having not paid will not be eligible to play matches, and may face not being able to play at club. (Anyone joining late in the season will need to pay their adjusted sub before becoming eligible to play any matches). Match fees will no longer be paid in a lump sum. They should be paid to the captain on the night of the match and are £5 per match.
The treasurer apologises for these strict rules but they are necessary in order for the club to run smoothly.
Sunday, October 13, 2013 at 7:43PM Hi everyone.
Hope you are all geared up for the match-playing part of the new season. Please find attached the current version of our fixtures list for the coming season. There are still three fixtures which need finalising (Ladies vs Haverhill, Mixed 2 vs the University and Mixed 3 vs Hawks) which is part of the reason why there has been a delay in getting this list out to you. Hopefully, the rest should not need to be changed.
Match fees are still £5 per match and will be collected after the match by team captains. Please try to remember to bring money along and to make their job easier, don’t wait to be asked for the money.
As is the case every year, the selection committee (this year, Di, Jo, Sam and Alex) have been checking out your performances over the last month and these, together with your results from previous seasons has resulted in our team selection for the coming season. The teams are listed in alphabetical order (first name) and not in order of ranking / ability within the team. They are as follows:
Ladies (Premier)
Dianne
Katie
Letitia
Phillippa (Captain)
Sammy

Reserves from:
Carol, Jo, Helen, Xin

Pairings have been suggested within each mixed team, but are ultimately the responsibility of the team captain. For Mens and Ladies, the pairings are entirely at the discretion of the team captain. In the event that any of the main team members are unable to play, selection of reserves is also at the discretion of the captain unless specified above. The fixtures list has also been attached, and a separate document (Captains responsibilities) will be separately circulated to all Captains.
Good luck for the season ahead!
