Kintbury Tennis Club welcomes players of every standard. We are a very friendly club with a fantastic location, excellent members, and a good mix of players ranging from absolute beginners to players of county standard. But our courts are in critical need of repair.

We don't just need a resurface job. We need to relay all three courts because the material under the current surface has crumbled away and our courts are slowly deteriorating. They are still playable, but only just.

We need to make the repairs and at the same time we want to improve all of our facilities to make our club more family friendly and also to offer a brilliant coaching facility for the children (and adults) of Kintbury. We now have a great opportunity to really turn our courts and our club into something very special and that is what we intend to do.

Of course, to do this we need to raise a lot of money. We are running fundraising events and putting in lots of effort ourselves to raise the £70k we need, but with grants and loans hard to come by these days it is not so easy. The LTA, for example, is only interested in supporting large, elite clubs. Small village clubs like Kintbury are overlooked when it comes to grants from sporting charities etc.

Everything we raise we will have to raise ourselves.

All donations to the club would be gratefully received, and we have also found a legitimate, genuine way of raising income without asking anyone to dig any deeper into their own pockets than they would be doing already. If you visit our online shop (click any links from this page) you can help us earn a small income from major high street retailers, just by buying what you would normally buy. In fact, we insist that you ONLY buy what you would normally buy. And we do not want you to buy anything that you would normally buy from any of the shops in Kintbury. We are a village club and we support our own village.

But if you sometimes make purchases from the likes of BT, Marks and Spencer or HMV (to name just a few of the hundred+ stores we have teamed up with) then we encourage you to make your purchase via the Kintburytennisclub online shop. Please also tell your friends because they can even earn some money for us without buying anything. Just applying for a credit card or doing a survey can make some money for the club, and every little helps.

Please do consider using our online shop. And THANK YOU for doing so.
