This year the Annual Club Championships will run through the summer, from 2nd June – 1st September. Finals Day will be on Sunday 9th September from 11.30am onwards.

The winners and runners-up will be presented with the trophies. Matches will be the best of three tie-break sets. There will be play-by dates, and any matches not completed by the set dates will be void.

There are various events you can enter in singles, doubles and mixed format. When the draw is posted on the Club noticeboards in June, you can commence your matches by phoning the player(s) you have been drawn against.

This year we will run an Inter/Advanced draw (A) and a Beginner/Improver draw (B) for popular events, which will allow players an equal chance of progressing through the rounds. Full rules will be posted on Club noticeboards. Please note that you can only enter if you are available to play on the Finals Day. In addition, please make sure that your are available to play when the majority of Members are available, which is evenings and weekends (weekday matches are also okay only if other players are available).

Pilates is a highly versatile method of exercise, which is suitable for people from all walks of life regardless of age, ability or fitness level. Originally created in the early 1900s by the late Joseph Pilates, the Pilates method is still one of the most popular movement techniques in the world today.

Julie combines Pilates with elements of Yoga and traditional sports training, and unites them with the latest scientific health and fitness research, to ensure the successful evolution of the technique. Each session is structured for the individual and progresses from the previous one, to achieve maximum benefits in each and every session.
