Bramhall Queensgate Tennis Club (BQTC)
The Tennis Section itself has gone from strength to strength with the original grass courts changing to hard and shale and then to AstroTurf when they were resurfaced following the sale of the cricket pitch. In 2012 we upgraded 3 courts to artificial clay (the first club in Bramhall to have these) and 3 new dual-tone AstroTurf courts were put down in 2017 making us a multi-surface club providing variety to our members.
We currently have 3 Ladies’ and 4 Men’s teams playing in the North East Cheshire Leagues and 1 Ladies' and 1 Men's teams playing in the South Manchester Leagues. We also have 4 winter league teams which are mixed teams.
The juniors have been outstanding for a number of years on the trot, being Division champions at all age levels. There is the ever popular Junior Club Night every Friday from 4-7 pm in term-time. Why not come down and give a try for FREE!
Adult Social tennis is held on Tuesday nights and Saturday afternoons. This is the best time to come if you are a new member and haven’t played tennis for a while.
Tennis is a game that most people have played by the time they become an adult at some point, either at school or having a knock about with friends on holiday etc. It is a very sociable game which also helps to improve fitness and well-being, just from running around in the fresh air. We have people in their 70’s and 80’s still playing on a regular basis!
If you’ve not played for some time but would like to give it another try, why not come for a FREE TRIAL! Pop down on a Tuesday night 7-9 pm or a Saturday afternoon 2-4 pm
Queensgate Sports Club (QSC)
The Queensgate Sports Club is made up of three sports which are played on the Queensgate site - Tennis, Bowls and Snooker.
The volunteer Committee is made up of two representatives from each of the three sections. They look after the buildings, car park and lettings of the clubhouse.
A regular supply of hirers of the clubhouse helps with the cost of rates, electricity and maintenance. Shortfalls require each section to make a yearly financial contribution, as a percentage based on the number of their adult members.
