Whitchurch Tennis Club is a friendly and growing club and is welcoming to new members whether they are experienced, beginners or just a little bit 'rusty' and wish to get back into tennis. There is also the opportunity to join as a social member only, for those that don’t want to play or don’t have time to play tennis.
