News
It has been brought to our attention that recent news reports on this website are potentially off-putting to potential new members. The club would like to apologise unreservedly for any offence caused - we have slipped from the already questionable standards which we hold ourselves to and we are truly sorry. No really. The website is first and foremost an advert for a friendly community sports club and it has been hijacked by an individual who has used it as an opportunity to air petty grievances, questionable political and religous beliefs and puerile childish nonsense. The person in question has recently left the hallowed ‘Inner Circle WhatsApp group’ and assuming somebody is prepared to start writing the news, he has agreed to step down from this prestigious position. Beaminster Tennis Club would like to reiterate that they welcome everyone. Their small but friendly membership already includes racists, christians and people with no sense of humour and the only criteria for joining is a theoretical interest in tennis. See you on court or for anyone offended by previous updates, in court.

Can I book a court?
No.
There’s no booking fee either. Once you’re a member, all four courts are FREE to use anytime outside of school hours*. We’re a small club, so there’s plenty of room. Just pop down for a game.
Come along to a club session or ask who’s up for a game in our exclusive members-only WhatsApp group.
Courts can potentially be booked by special arrangement by WhatsApping the chairman on 07956 169276.

Safeguarding & Polices

This means that the club has adopted new policies and procedures for safeguarding, diversity and inclusion, and whistle blowing, together with codes of conduct for coaches and club volunteers, children and young people, and parents or other adults accompanying children.
All of these documents are all available to download below
