2021 Summer Update
Summer holidays are here, we have had some fine weather and there is still plenty of action at the club, both on and off the tennis court. Here is a quick summary –
Rubber Ducks River Race (Sunday 1stAugust, 2.30pm onwards)
Our postponed, first gathering fundraiser for this year will be the Bath Tennis Club Duck race. We hope to race all 1,000 ducks (£1 per duck) with your help in supporting the event, with a garden party and bbq (£5 individual / £15 family) to add to the day’s entertainment, the venue & ducks being kindly provided by Roger & Janette Stephenson’s open invitation to their home in Pensford. A big advanced thank you to Roger & Janette from the club! The address and postcode is: Mill House, Mill Lane, Woollard postcode BS39 4HX. (Prior booking required)
You can still buy some ducks to race here: https://andrewkettle.selz.com/item/rubber-ducks-fundraiser (We will allocate your duck numbers prior to the day!)

Summer Red Ball Event:
Our first 2021 fun doubles event using the large sized red ball in the service boxes. Bring a vintage racket and attire and we will reward you with handicap points! No volleys, the name of the game and you need to have your wits about you. Great prizes up for grabs. The BBQ might even make an appearance, so we’ve pretty much booked the weather! Otherwise, hot food provided. Entry Cost £10 per individual. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a partner, you will get paired up on the night. Sign-up by text to Andrew on 07823 321 993

Finally, tennis is a naturally socially distant sport, but players should take the following steps to reduce the risk of transmission when attending and participating in tennis activity, at the club:
- Check for COVID-19 symptoms. Before attending any tennis activity, you should self-assess for symptoms of COVID-19, which are:
- a high temperature
- a new, continuous cough
- a loss of, or change to, your sense of smell or taste
If you, or anyone you live with, have one or more of these symptoms you should not attend any sporting activity, even if your symptoms are mild. You should follow NHS guidance on testing and self-isolation. If you have been informed that you need to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace (or are required to self-isolate in relation to travel), you must do so. You should not leave your isolation location in order to participate in sport and physical activity. You can find more information in the NHS guidance on how to self-isolate.
Otherwise, keep safe and do enjoy your tennis
Best wishes
