The finishing touches have been completed so our newly refurbished bar is now well and truly open!
We’re planning a Club social function in November: keep your eyes and ears peeled for news…!
So after your game why not come upstairs, have a drink and a look around?
Discussions will begin shortly about soft furnishings, time to say goodbye to that carpet!
In case you forget- here is our old bar…..!
Our REBO practice wall has now been fixed: thanks to members for mentioning repair to the net line was needed.
If you see something at BLTSC that looks like it needs attention, please tell the office or a Committee member, thank you.
The hitting face is at a nine degree angle, this provides a ball arc that is realistic and will help you to practice like the Pro’s!
Warm up before you play, recover from injury, work on your non-dominant hand- or just try and beat the wall!
Useful tip- start close to the wall with with low compression balls, increase your distance and work up to a full ball.
Quick reminder for members, that courts 11& 12 are out of action for the next two days as trees are being cut back ahead of our resurfacing work in August
Many thanks
Its unique angled face means that the ball response from the wall better replicates the 'arc' of playing partner.
BLTSC’s REBO wall has its own enclosed space- our REBO ZONE. Located centrally by our clay courts this new addition to our facilities is proving popular.
In a tennis match you expect to hit about 150 balls per hour… with a ball machine approximately 500 balls per hour…. but against a REBO wall you can hit over 2000 balls per hour using only ONE ball.
BLTC’s 2016 Finals Day is almost here!!
There are over 10 open finals alongside junior events that will be contested throughout the afternoon.
The weather is set fair- ish. The bar will be open from midday and afternoon tea will be served from 3pm
There will be an early evening BBQ: tickets are now on sale from the Club Office office- don’t forget to buy in advance!
Full order of play and timings will follow later in the week.
This is one of the highlights of our Club year: please come along, enjoy the tennis with your fellow members and support all our competitors
Well so it seems…. for a bit…. at least… for now….. until the rain comes..
Either way, don’t miss out- grab your plimmies and your racket and come to club night
Every Tuesday 7-9pm

(£2 each, for balls)
Well played to the class of 2018!
BLTSC’s annual open tournament finals day was another hard fought one! With significant heat a constant feature of the day our finalists played through. Despite the distractions of SW19, all our players were well supported. Play ended in BR2 with a three set thriller mens dubs taking us into the buffet supper. Well played to all our finalists and to all to all of those that participated and lost out in earlier rounds- maybe next year!
Finals day is the centre piece of our tennis calendar- thank you to everyone that made our Open Championship finals day another to remember.
As a members club- it’s our members that make it happen: maybe could you help next year, talk to our Tennis Committee and be part of it!
