Winter Open Round Up 2026

Our annual indoor Winter Open took place at the end of October, and 102 players entered, equaling our best-ever entry. They took part in a range of doubles events, with 108 matches played across both weekends and one midweek evening. Competitors ranged from age 13 upwards, and the standard and spirit of competition were superb all week.

Men’s Doubles
Another late-night spectacle of high-quality tennis, with the final finishing at 10.30pm. Kieran and Joel from Truro took the title, beating ARC members Bruno and Euan in the final.

Ladies’ Doubles
It was great to see our local ladies going toe to toe with two young players from the Devon and Cornwall County U18 Ladies Squad. Heidi and Katia (ARC and Cornwall) were the winners, with Teresa and Amanda (ARC and Braunton) finishing as runners-up.

Vets’ Men’s Doubles
Plenty of tiebreaks meant this event took up most of Saturday. Andy Koval and his partner Matt claimed the title from ARC members Damon and Paul. It was also great to welcome players from Devon Vets teams to the draw.

Vets’ Ladies’ Doubles
Twelve pairs entered. Sue and Ginny took the title after a real battle with Julie and Claire from Torquay, winning 11-9 in the Championship tiebreak.

Mixed Vets’ Doubles
A strong entry and lots of competitive play. ARC players dominated the final, with Dave Thresher and Alison Widdicombe beating Damon and Marian to take the title.

Mixed Doubles
The final event of the week didn’t disappoint. With a full draw, a waiting list and players from Devon, Cornwall and Wales, competition was fierce. After seven hours of continuous play, Ella and Kieran came out on top, beating Devon pairing Lily and Euan in a high-standard final. It was Kieran’s second ARC title of the week.

Thank you to everyone who entered and helped make it such a fun week.

Save the date: the Winter Open is an annual event, held in the last week of October, so please reserve it in your diary for next year. Before that, our next ARC Adult LTA Tournament is the usual week-long event in May, with competitions for all categories including juniors. We look forward to seeing you there!

Halloween Quiz Night

Another epic quiz night at ARC with a distinct spooky vibe! Our incredible volunteer quizmasters produced another classic with some fiendish questions and lots of halloween themed rounds.

With extra prizes up for grabs for best costumes and pumpkin carving lots of our members had really gone to town this year!

Thank you as always to our wonderful volunteers, bar staff and all of the members for coming along and making it a night to remember whilst raising funds for ARC.

ARC Members Evening Celebrates Community Spirit

A fantastic evening of conversation, connection and community at ARC.

We recently welcomed members to a special Members Evening, bringing together the ARC community for a relaxed evening of socialising, meeting new people and celebrating what makes the club such a welcoming place to be.

The evening provided a great opportunity for members to catch up with familiar faces, make new connections and spend time together away from the courts. With plenty of laughter, conversation and smiles throughout the evening, there was a real sense of community spirit.

Events like these are an important part of life at ARC, giving members the chance to get to know one another and build friendships beyond their regular sporting activities. Whether you're a long standing member or have only recently joined, ARC is a place where everyone can feel part of the community.

Community Dream Becomes Reality: ARC Unveils New Multi-Use Hall and Social Hub

After a dedicated fundraising journey to return this vital space to the local community, we are proud to announce the official opening of its brand-new Multi-Use Hall on June 1st. This milestone marks a significant expansion for the charity, transforming the centre into a true "all in one" destination for exercise, business, and social connection.

A Space for Every Occasion

The centerpiece of the expansion is the 11m x 16m Multi-Use Hall. Designed to be a "clean canvas" for the community, the space features:

  • Capacity for 150 people, making it ideal for large parties or corporate events.

  • Advanced LED Lighting that can shift from a bright sports environment to an atmospheric event space.

  • Multi-use sports flooring designed for both high-impact exercise classes and formal receptions.

  • Tiered pricing starting at just £20 per hour for community groups.

Beyond the Court: New Professional & Social Spaces

Recognising the need for versatile work environments, we have also launched a dedicated hireable meeting room. This quiet, professional space is equipped with Wi-Fi and is perfect for local business owners or organizations seeking a modern meeting venue.

Furthermore, the centre is debuting a new pop-up social space. This area serves as a relaxed "third space" where residents can gather for a coffee after a workout, socialise with friends, or simply connect with other members of the community.

A Future-Focused Facility

"This project was born out of a desire to give this space back to our community," says Tom Vinall, General Manager. "By combining high end features like our new lighting and PA systems with accessible community rates, we’ve created a hub that works for everyone, from local instructors to party planners".

The facility is fully wheelchair accessible and offers free car parking for all visitors.

How to Get Involved

We encourage you to Book a Tour to see the new transformation firsthand.

From North Devon to the Big Smoke: ARC’s Leanne Avery Takes on the London Marathon

Date: April 2026

Our very own Leanne Avery is officially heading to the capital to take on the 2026 London Marathon!

For those who know Leanne from around the centre, you’ll know she is the definition of the "ARC Spirit" resilient, energetic, and always ready to support others. But now is our turn to give back some support for her.

This isn't just a 26.2-mile race for Leanne; it’s a deeply personal mission. Leanne is running in honour of her Mum, who lives with a lifelong lung disease.

"My Mum was the one who first got me into running as a child," Leanne shared. "She’s been my inspiration from day one. To run for Asthma + Lung UK is my way of giving back to a cause that affects 1 in 5 people in the UK, including the person who taught me to find my stride."

Overcoming the Odds

The road to the "Big Smoke" hasn't been easy. Many of our members have seen Leanne training hard in the ARC gym and on the local trails, but what they might not know is that this dream has been years in the making. After battling through successive injuries and setbacks, Leanne’s presence at the 2026 start line is a testament to her incredible determination.

At ARC, we champion the idea that sport should be inclusive and that barriers are meant to be broken. Leanne’s journey from injury recovery to marathon runner perfectly encapsulates everything we stand for.

How You Can Get Involved

We are calling on the entire ARC community to help Leanne smash her fundraising goals and cheer her across the finish line from afar!

  • Track Her Progress: If you want to follow Leanne’s journey through the streets of London in real-time, download the Official London Marathon App and track Bib Number: 40851.

  • Show Your Support: Leanne is raising vital funds for Asthma + Lung UK to support life-changing research and support for those with lung conditions.

Go get ‘em, Leanne! The whole of ARC is cheering for you!

Devon Tennis Awards Success

On the 28th January Devon LTA held their annual awards night at Exeter Golf and Country Club and we are very pleased to announce some ARC wins from all of our nominations!

Marian Vinall was awarded the Official of the Year award. We are sure that the many players and parents who attend her tournaments would agree that she is a very worthy recipient and she does so much more behind the scenes organising, supporting and fighting for tennis in North Devon.

Finally one of our younger players, Boris, was awarded the 10U player of the year by the performance team at Devon Tennis so a huge well done to him too.
