Spectators were on the edge of their seats during last week’s sensational all-action Division 1 Return Challenge Table Tennis Match between GTC A and arch rivals NET TTC A!  Both clubs’ finest players fought long and hard for the honours while the audience sipped table tennis themed cocktails. Alas, NET TTC A won the night, 6-4. But there’s always a next time. Many thanks to both teams for giving everyone such an entertaining evening!

GTC has a thriving table tennis section, with eight teams playing in the two local leagues this season, up from five last year. There is plenty of social table tennis, a growing Junior group, and great coaching. Find out more from Richard on: [email protected].

Heavy rain has recently stopped play even on our wonderfully well-drained courts. But on the gloomiest days, there’s usually something to make our members smile!

Congratulations to our worthy winners of the Middlesex Over 55s Summer Tournament who recently received their award. Our 1^st team chalked up the highest number of points through a series of mens, ladies and mixed doubles matches played at home and away.

Look out for them again in 2026!

It was blue sky and sunglasses for our last Adult Tennis Camp of 2025. Looking forward to plenty of sunny tennis days in 2026! Find out more about our great membership offers at [email protected]

Some of GTC’s female members recently swapped their tennis racquets for snooker cues as our great new coach, Dave Harwood, guided them through the basics, ready for a few competitive frames.

“It was such a great vibe and really reminded me why I love doing this – it’s all about learning, sharing and growing together. Can’t wait to catch up again soon,” said Dave.

In 2024, the Club’s Snooker Room had a major refurb, and the 2 full-size snooker tables are maintained in excellent condition. All ages and skills are welcome, with good-value subscriptions including special senior citizen, junior and off-peak rates.

With the evenings drawing in, some of our members recently took to the games tables in our well stocked Bar and Lounge for a fun-filled mix of classic favourites and novel board games. There was plenty of laughter, strategy, and friendly competition though standard tennis scoring didn’t seem to quite work!

Once again, there were lots of great matches on Summer Finals Day, including some tense three-setters. Congratulations to all our winners and runners up and huge thanks to our brilliant organisers!
