Trull Tennis Club has completed a major court resurfacing project and is inviting local people to try out the new facilities with a series of free taster sessions.

The village club began work in 2024, raising £40,000 to resurface two of its four courts.

Fundraising continued into 2025 and, with support from Trull Parish Council, the club reached its target over the summer and has now completed resurfacing of the remaining two courts.

Club representatives said: "We are incredibly fortunate to live in a village with a parish council that is committed to continuously improving the facilities we have on offer.

"This is of course just one recent example of the fantastic work the Trull Parish Council does for Trull village."

To celebrate the upgraded courts, Trull Tennis Club recently hosted an American Doubles tournament, with players from across its membership taking part.

Membership is open all year round, with a range of options available for adults, juniors and families, and several teams competing in local leagues. Full details, including prices and contact information are available on the club’s website.

In the run-up to the Wimbledon championships this summer, the club is also running free taster days for anyone who would like to pick up a racquet for the first time or is thinking about joining.

Adult sessions will take place on Wednesday July 1, from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, and Saturday July 4, from 2pm to 3pm. Junior tasters will run on Saturday July 4, from 10am to 11am for ages 5–9, and from 11am to 12pm for ages 10 and over.
