Opt-in for Wimbledon

Have you remembered to Opt In for Wimbledon tickets this year? 

If you are a British Tennis Member (which I assume you are as it is a free service!), please log in and opt in before 14th February 2020 to be included in the club draw for Wimbledon tickets around April/May time.  In your profile you must list Bramhall Queensgate as your tennis venue too.

More details of our allocation of tickets and when the Wimbledon draw will take place to follow.

The first Tuesday of the month can only mean one thing at Bramhall Queensgate Tennis Club. It's our regular friendly, American Social Tournament with a variety of popular themes to keep it interesting! Prizes, drinks and nibbles to follow.  All welcome 7-9 pm

We've had some great winners with this theme so please do pop down and enjoy the evening of sociable tennis. 

Just £3 will cover the flood lights, balls, a free drink at the bar with some nibbles and a prize for the winning scrabble word.

Kids tennis club night is on every Friday during the school term. There are plenty of fun tennis games so everyone can join in, have fun and improve their game.

The tuck shop is also open to grab a quick drink and a snack.

Why not bring a friend for a free first session to see if they like it?

The tennis holiday camps run during the school holidays and the coaches at Queensgate Tennis Club make sure that camps are fun for all children attending.

The main emphasis is to ensure the holiday camps are in a safe, fun and friendly environment and the reputation of the camps speak for themselves, so it is important to book your place promptly to avoid disappointment.

Forthcoming camp dates are as follows:

21st October - 24th October

You can book to attend full days or just a morning or afternoon session.

Morning sessions 10.00am - 12.30pm

Afternoon sessions 1.30pm - 4pm 

All day sessions 10.00am - 4 pm

Price: £14.00 per session, £20.00 per day. All coaches are LTA qualified and have clear enhanced DBS checks. 

Those that attended the AGM of the Queensgate Sports Club (QSC) will know that it was agreed that the QSC should be working towards being financially self-sufficient so that any spare funds the Tennis, Bowls and Snooker sections have can be plowed back into, in our case, the sinking fund for replacement courts. To enable this, we need to increase the lettings income.  Mike Sarginson has already volunteered to take on the initial enquires, actual bookings and maintenance of an online calendar (which is fabulous news!) until someone else comes forward as this is a job that needs doing immediately if we are to advertise the clubhouse to potential hirers! If anyone feels they could take this job on, please let us know by emailing or phoning the number below.

Rob Chambers and Mike Sarginson already look after the bar stock and Bob Pigeon will be dealing with the financial arrangements for the lettings. 

We are also looking for several people to volunteer on a rota system to fulfil the following jobs:
1)  volunteers to unlock the clubhouse and possibly set up the main hall with tables (if required) when events are taking place
2)  volunteers to put any tables away the following morning that have been used at the event together with doing a check for damage.
3)  volunteers to run the bar for evening events. This is a paid role and would suit anyone over the age of 18. 

If you think you could be available to help by giving up some time, on a rota basis, please email Bob Pigeon - bobpigeon@btinternet.com -07843 573975 

Don't forget you can also help by making your friends, family, colleagues aware of the venue, whether it's for a special birthday, children's party, works do, bridge drive, or classes of any kind.  And ...if you hire it yourself, members get a very good discount @ £15 per hour!  Non-members £25 per hour
