Regular Club Sessions
Social Tennis Sessions for Club Members
Simply turn up and play, in a relaxed and fun environment.

Sunday Mornings – Club Morning
This is a great way to “loosen” the limbs and build up your appetite for Sunday lunch.
Make sure you don’t leave too early, as you may miss the coffee and biscuits towards 11.30ish!

Rusty Rackets - Saturday Afternoon
If you have not represented St Martins Lawn Tennis Club in the State Street Inter-Club Leagues and would like to, please contact the captain of each of the respective teams.
The standard of tennis in these sessions is fairly high. Whilst play is officially non-competitive, no-one likes to lose!

Wednesday Mornings – Additional Club Morning

Friday Evenings – Club Night
The Friday evening session finishes near to 7.30pm, followed by a visit to a nearby pub for light refreshments and/or a bar meal.
There are a number of good pubs in St Martin’s so you are spoilt for choice!
