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!
GTC was at the heart of the action at the truly memorable Gunnersbury Park Garden Estate Centenary Celebrations! The dog show was a barking winner and Mayor of Hounslow, Amy Croft, brought a touch of class to table tennis. There was delicious food, and glasses were never empty thanks to our brilliant bar staff!
Four heat waves haven’t deterred GTC members from making the most of our six fantastic all-weather courts this Summer. As well as regular social play, there’ve been monthly American Tournaments – round robin doubles competitions with rotating partners. By popular demand, the Summer of 25 has also seen the introduction of Adult Tennis Camps (with pizza!) in addition to the usual Junior Tennis Camps.
And it’s not over yet. The last rounds of the Summer Championships are being played out, with Finals Day on September 27.

On the scorching Sunday of July 13, GTC hosted its own vibrant Wimbledon mixed doubles tournament, kicking off at 9:30am to beat the heat. Undeterred by the blazing sun, players brought their A-game, with four parent-child pairs adding a heartwarming twist to the competition. The courts buzzed with thrilling rallies, featuring two double-double knockouts, a flurry of deuces, sudden-death showdowns, and tie-breaks galore.
Isabel and Kryan triumphed over Jackie and Mikail in the main event, while Mimi and Hector clinched the plate from Sue and Andrew, all pairs earning well-deserved cheers. Frequent tea breaks kept spirits high, and as the day wrapped up, hot and weary players retreated to the cool shade of their homes to catch the Wimbledon final, capping off a memorable day of tennis and community.
Our 4th Memorial Celebration Day, held each year to remember Club members, family and friends affected by cancer, has raised a fantastic £3732 for Cancer Research UK – a wonderful charity doing such good research for people with cancer today and in the future. It was great to see so many members enjoying the family fun tennis and taking part in or watching some hard fought adult tennis, table tennis and pétanque during a lovely sunny afternoon.
It was a close run thing but, despite having different members each year, the orange team once again carried off the Paul Busfield Trophy. There were some delicious contributions to the cake baking competitions and Ben was Star Baker in the Junior Bake Off and Florence in the Adult Bake Off.
We are very grateful to everyone who gave so generously to Cancer Research UK, donated books, photos, plants or sports kit for the stalls, or prizes for the tombola, or sponsored such brilliant prizes for the raffle, and to Debbie and team for organising the event.

On a beautiful sunny day, GTC members welcomed dozens of visitors to enjoy tennis, coaching for all ages, table tennis, snooker and much more at our annual Open Day. The BBQ was as delicious as ever, as were all the homemade salads, tarts and cakes brought by our ever creative cooks and bakers. We were delighted that so many people took advantage of our very special Open Day membership offers but don’t forget there’s still 10% off most new member subscriptions.
