About Us Beaconsfield Lawn Tennis Club (BLTC) is a friendly club
which caters for players of all standards.
Teams
We enter men’s, ladies’, mixed and veterans teams in the county and
local leagues throughout the year.
The Winter and Summer match season have finished - see
results page for details and match
reports. Last summer, Bucks introduced an extra format into the
Bucks Shield. This allowed clubs to field doubles teams of four as
well as, or instead of, the usual format of six players per team. The
idea was to allow some of the smaller clubs to enter, and in addition
provide a format in which matches will take less time for those who
have difficulty with the six set format.
Last summer, BLTC entered the following teams:
Mens - two teams of six players, and in addition two teams of
four players. The teams of four were aimed at players who would
not otherwise get match play and included both senior members and
the older intermediates.
Ladies - three teams of six players, with the existing
fourth team reverting to a four player format, and one further team of
four, bringing the total number of teams to five this year.
Mixed - there was one team of four players entered into a mixed
league which used the same format as for the winter Farnham Common
league i.e. two mixed doubles followed by one men's and one ladies
doubles.
Club Sessions and Tournaments
A family-friendly feel pervades throughout this medium-sized club -
we have several open
club sessions
each week, and organise regular
friendly tournaments throughout the
year. Club nights are held on a Thursday during the summer, and
once a month there are
cheese and wine evenings which makes
for a good social occasion. There are also monthly Friday morning
tournaments followed by lunch in the clubhouse, or a BBQ outside in
the summer. This culminates in the popular BLTC Christmas tournament
and lunch.
Juniors and Intermediates
We have a thriving
section for younger players,
and the
Beaconsfield School of Lawn Tennis
(BSLT), which adjoins the club, delivers some of the best coaching in
the region. All BLTC members qualify for a special discounted rate for
coaching from BSLT. |
