Get a free hit in Howrah

The Sunshine Tennis Club is inviting the local community members of all skill levels to come and give tennis a try for free in February.

The club will open its courts to people of all ages to see if tennis is the right sport for them or rediscover their love for the game.

Sunshine Tennis Club committee member Colin Richardson said this was a great opportunity for locals to access some free, sociable exercise and for the club to potentially welcome in some new members

“Everyone is welcome to come along to our social day in February and have a go on one of our six national standard courts,” he said.

“You don’t have to had played tennis before to give it a go, we will provide the racquets, balls, a little bit of coaching and away you go.

“The monthly Four Season and Growers market will also be on next door which will both add to the atmosphere and the opportunity to support another great local organisation in the Howrah Community Centre.”

Richardson said the Sunshine Tennis Club, formed in 1986, had always been run by a team of dedicated volunteers.

“We have a great team of people at this club and we have always been well supported by our local community,” he said.

“We run some very accessible social tennis events as well as working with other tennis clubs to put on some national competitions.

“We cater for people of all ages, from our junior members all the way up to our oldest member who is in their 90s.”

The Sunshine Tennis Club free social day will be held on Sunday 9 February 2024 from 9am on Howrah Road opposite the Shoreline Shopping Centre.
