This will be held on Tuesday November 18th, at the Bell in Ramsbury.  This is the forum for discussing rule changes and any other issues about the running of the League.  It is in our rules that each club should be represented so see you there!

This year Purton Tennis Club will be offering something different with a more upmarket approach.  Tickets will be £22.50 each but will offer extremely good value for money.  The evening will  begin with a live Jazz Band during pre-dinner drinks and they will continue to play throughout the 3 course meal which will be served to you at your table.  The quiz, which has become a regular feature in recent years, is being dropped but  instead there is a new “surprise feature”  which will be an opportunity for plenty of laughs whilst still testing your brain power!  As ever there’ll be a lively finale with the opportunity to dance the night away with a brilliant disco through to midnight. The Purton Committee feels that the evening is all about recognising and rewarding the successful players and all the teams from Division 9 to the very top divisions and the first part of the evening will be dedicated to this and all winners and runners up are encouraged to be present to celebrate their success.  In addition winning teams will be photographed together with their trophy.   The photos will then get a full year’s exposure on the league web site - so make sure you come smartly dressed!

That’s it.  It’s all over now and time to start preparing for the Winter League.  See the final report of the season on the Summer League page. 

Home team captains must notify Richard Vernon if a match is postponed through bad weather.  Don’t assume that he will know that it was raining in your area.  Late notification risks a fine.

The inter-league challenge match was won convincingly by the Swindon & District League.  The men won 8-0 and the Ladies 6-2, with Lucy Roze and Becky Prince winning all four of their sets.

Well done to all the players and supporters.

Welcome to the new web site.  We hope it adds to your enjoyment of league tennis.  Please note that this is an additional  communication channel and will not replace the regular results e-mail .

You will see that some areas are more finished than others - for instance, we have only posted club contact details where the individual has authorised it so, if your club has no details, please let us know what to post. 

We welcome any feedback, ideas or information for posting on the site.  We  intend to change the photo on the home page regularly so please send  any (tennis related) photo for consideration.  Perhaps we could aim to include a photo of every club over the course of a year.

All feedback to website@swindontennisleague.org.uk

This year’s Presentation Evening will be hosted by Purton TC on Saturday 18th October.  We hope that each club will buy at least four tickets - it’s always a great evening, and the more clubs that make up parties the better.  More details will follow later in the season.

The AGM is not quite as much fun but we still hope every club will be represented.  It will be held on Tuesday 18th November at 7.30pm at The Bell, Ramsbury.

The summer season will start with the traditional curtain-raiser - the inter league challenge match on Sunday 27th April, at Ramsbury TC.

A team of top players (men and ladies) from the Swindon League will take on their counterparts from the Chippenham League in what is always an exciting and hard  fought contest. 

Come along and watch and sample the famous Ramsbury cakes.  Tennis starts at 2.00pm.   

League matches will start the next day, Monday 28th April 2008.

Please note that the following clubs will start their matches at 6.45:

Burbage                         Devizes
