Dedham Lawn Tennis Club, a
few
miles north of Colchester in the Stour valley, has three all-weather tennis
courts. It is situated on the playing fields behind the Parish Church, just off Dedham High Street and Brook Street (map)
We welcome players of all ages and ability and try to ensure all our members get well-balanced and enjoyable tennis. For younger members, coaching is available through a separate junior club run by an LTA approved coach. Club sessions form the core of our activities. In addition there are American Tournaments throughout the summer season, a season-ending Club Tournament and opportunity for match play against other local clubs in the Colchester & District Tennis League. The Sunday afternoon club sessions during the summer months prove popular with non-playing members too, perhaps on account of the teas! Membership Fees The season runs from March 1st. Fees for the 2008/2009 season are as follows:Adult Membership: £80 Family Membership: £135 Junior: £23 Sibling: £17 Intermediate: £33 (in full-time education up to the age of 21) Social: £6
Guests: Non-members may play with members as guests for a maximum of three times per season for a nominal fee of £2 per session. Members are responsible for the collection of the appropriate fee.
Private Hire: the courts may be hired by non-members at an hourly rate of £8 per court. The key can be obtained from the Pharmacy in Dedham High Street.
