Social play
Please adhere to the guidelines if attending the courts to play. Our members club tournament will operate during September.Please register by emailing Hilary Bradley - hilarybradley47@gmail.com or Gordon Clough - clough127@btinternet.com
Sometimes the hardest thing in tennis is to find someone to play with. We have a private WhatsApp group to help find players - please email Prudence Mackee on prudence@imackee.co.uk. By requesting this you agree for your mobile number to be shared within the group.
We also have a private Facebook group "Durham Archery Tennis Club"
We have a "mix in" policy here at DALTC which means that on Wednesday & Thursday evenings (from about 6.00 pm) and on Saturday & Sunday afternoons (from about 2.00 pm) you will always get a game.
Monday (Men’s Priority Night) and Tuesday (Ladies' Priority Night) are also evenings when all those who attend are asked to mix in, so again you will be assured of a game if you turn up.
While social playing members are required to give way to match play, with 6 floodlit astro courts and 3 grass courts, you’ll rarely not find a court available for social tennis.
