    A Knaresborough tennis club is having an open day event this weekend.

    Knaresborough King James' Tennis Club is set to have open courts on Sunday, April 7, from midday to 4pm in the grounds of King James’ School.

    The club was formed in 2011 as a collaboration between Knaresborough Tennis Club and King James' School.

    Club Chair Mike Forster said:

    “Knaresborough is a close community and yet we attract members from a much wider area thanks to the welcome they receive – plus of course the chance to play socially and competitively and take part in our annual John Forster Tournament. Not to mention professional coaching.
    "Our commitment to a friendly but competitive environment is evident from the Fair Play Award and social sessions are consistently well-attended by players of all ages. If you fancy a change of scenery or are picking up your racket again after a break, however rusty you are do come and join us this Sunday. You might just find yourself part of a winning team.”


    The club has over 90 members ranging from students to retirees and offers social tennis sessions three times a week.

    King James' is the only Knaresborough club with Starbeck as their closest tennis club, which it competes with in the local derby.

    The club has seven porous macadam courts and has regular club and match play. It had a triple success last year when Its mixed, men’s and ladies’ teams all won division 3 of their respective Harrogate and York Leagues. The trophies will be displayed at the Open Day.

    The ladies’ squad was also awarded the first ever Fair Play Award from the Fulford Ladies’ Invitation Tennis League.

    A just for fun tournament will be held in the afternoon and there is no need to bring a partner. Refreshments will be provided, and visitors can meet club members.
