Since mid-May, Seaton Tennis Club has been up and running again following partial lifting of the lockdown.

The clubhouse remains largely closed to minimise any possible virus transmission, but otherwise members have been getting back on court and enjoying the fantastic weather.

Tennis is still one of the few sports that can safely be played and while the club is currently unable to accept visitors, new members both young and old from complete beginner to League standard are all very welcome.

Club chairman Simon Prior said: "We can offer incentives such as payment in monthly instalments and £50 worth of free coaching for adult beginners and 'Rusty Racquets'. 

"Adult membership works out at a bargain £3.36 per week for as much tennis as you want and junior membership for the year to March 31 2021 is just £11 to £37 depending on age. Coaching costs would be additional. There is also a student rate.

"So, dust off that old racquet (or we can lend you one for a while) and dig out those trainers and come and play tennis again or even for the first time!"
