New season......
The official starting date for the 2008 season is yet to be decided by the Committee- but it is most likely to be in early April. Any prospective new members are welcome to come along on the day which will be advertised here, but a hardy few still brave the winter elements on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays so most nights someone from the Club will be on hand to deal with enquiries about membership.
The club has entered two teams in the Mixed Leagues this year with Gail Campbell (A team) and Lynda Rees (B team) being the respective captains.
Singles league matches commence in March- the main Mixed leagues are played in May and June.
How to join!
Come along (and bring a racket). Club nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays 7.45pm to late and Saturday afternoons 3.00pm to 5.30pm.
Club address: The Commons, Millisle Road, Donaghadee. County Down N Ireland Tel: 028 91 884776One court is available on non-club nights for additional play.
Members 2008
The membership has fluctuated over the years ranging from 5 to just over 40. At present, we are around about the 30 mark- not including the Juniors. However, we are still one of the smallest clubs in the Belfast and District league albeit with excellent facilities.

Fees
It's £40 a year to join the club but a season ticket must also be purchased for £45 with this money going to the Council who own our courts! Fees should be paid to the Club Treasurer and further details are available from her. The are concessionary rates for Juniors, Students and oap's. Family membership is currently set at £80.
As we are not a money-making organisation, our fees are used purely to buy tennis balls, enter league competitions and pay the rent and floodlight bills!
