Anyone for tennis?

In 1997 a dedicated group of tennis players and other volunteers from Ramsden decided to try to raise the necessary funds to provide the facility of a Tennis Court for Ramsden.

With the money they raised, and with the assistance of additional funding from West Oxfordshire District Council and Sport England, the Ramsden Tennis Court was completed and opened in 2000.. The club is managed by The Ramsden Tennis Court Committee and the annual subscriptions/donations received ensure the court remains well maintained. Ramsden Tennis Club remains completely self-financing, with all funds raised from membership and visitors fees, grants and the efforts of the Committee and supporters.

Situated on the playing field in Akeman Street, Ramsden this facility is open to members and non- members and is for the benefit of the village and the neighbourhood. There are annually around 85 club members.

Tennis is played all year, by all ages and in virtually all weathers.. The most popular court activity is groups of four players meeting weekly. For those who like to play competitively, Ramsden has a team which competes in the Wychwood League with other villages, winning the League in 2023. Currently the other League members are Chipping Campden, Charlbury, Stonesfield, Moreton in Marsh and Bourton Vale.

We have an ever-growing social side, for example, tennis holidays in Devon and elsewhere, and the monthly Supper Club, introduced to raise funds for a clubhouse. Space is reserved on the field for a second court when funds allow.

The club members can access the LTA annual allocation of Wimbledon tickets.

So, whether you're a budding Emma Raducanu or Cameron Norrie in the making; or if you are a complete novice, who fancies a gentle knock-about, come and join us.

All are welcome.

Clubhouse News

We are excited to report that planning permission has been granted to place a small clubhouse alongside the court on the playing field. We will need to boost our funds in order to do this over the coming months, because the pandemic interrupted the fundraising which was going well with monthly supper clubs hosted by our members. Can you assist the club financially please either by purchasing an annual membership which enables you access to play until June 30th 2024 (£45 adults or £110 family) or if you are not a player by making a one off donation which will be very helpful. Further details or questions please contact Sue Tucker, Chair RTCC.
