Alex Completes Tennisathon

ALEX GRIGG – a member of our Junior club, recently undertook a fund-raising project at his School, in aid of EDUKID; this is a charity dedicated to children’s education, in Cambodia, Palestine and Uganda.

As part of this he played a 6 hour tennis marathon, at ARC, on Saturday 9th April, from 9am to 3pm. He was joined by several other ARC juniors in short stints to help him cross the line. These included: Kyle Tubbs, Martha Macdonald, Ollie Luxton, Ben Seaman and of course his Mum &Dad, Dan & Lynne Grigg.

In total Alex managed to raise £101.03 for Edukid which is a fantastic result! Well done Alex!

Triumphant Alex at the end of his 6 hour tennisathon!

PROGRESS ON PHASE II BUILDING

The fencing surrounding the building site is now in place, and construction will be starting shortly. The plan is to build the shell, with internal walls and external windows in place, and - given reasonable summer weather - this should be completed by the end of August. The diggers should be on site sometime this week - exciting news!

Construction to start on new building

ARC are excited to announce that the construction of the water tight shell of our new building will begin in February 2016.

This is a very exciting time for the club. Watch this space for more info and updates on the construction process.

Floodlights installed on courts 5 & 6.

We are delighted to now have fully functional floodlights on courts 5 & 6 meaning that our most sheltered courts are now available to be used at all times. The addition of these extra lights means that now all 6 of our outdoor courts are floodlit. Roll on winter training!
