Hello!
What a brilliant week it’s been, and there’s plenty more to look forward to! Including tonight’s Abba and 80’s night with a few tickets still available. Sunshine and warmer temperatures are forecast for the entire week ahead, we hope you’ll make the most of this burst of summery weather and pop down to the Club. Why not visit for a cheeky sharpener or dare I suggest some outdoor tennis, pickleball or croquet too! And we have our gym and classes too.
We’re always looking for ways to add value to your membership, and we’re excited to introduce some fantastic new Member benefits. We’ve now finalised plans to reward our loyal members with guest passes—so if you’ve been with us for at least a year, you can collect yours from the office. Full details of the scheme can be found HERE
On top of that, we’re delighted to announce our new partnership with Frinton Links Golf Club. All full sporting tennis, squash, and gym members will receive a complimentary social membership at Frinton Links whilst you remain a Member of our Club. We’ll have this up and running within the next week or so and we’ll keep you updated!
Meanwhile, it’s time for this week’s news!
Pete’s 24hour Tennis Challenge
A massive congratulations to Pete Cleverly for completing his 24 hour tennis challenge! It’s a remarkable achievement. Amazingly, he didn’t sit down during the whole 24 hours at all! It was an emotional end when Pete played the last rally with Tom, his brother, as the crowd counted Pete down the final seconds of the challenge. Thank you to everyone who came down, played and supported Pete during the 24 hours. So far, Pete has raised an incredible £13,145 (plus giftaid) for Steps Charity and Colchester Neonatal Ward. His donations page is still open HERE if you’d like to donate. The story even made the news… HERE

NEW Tennis Social Sessions
Earlier this week, we announced the launch of our NEW Social Tennis Sessions! These sessions have been introduced to enhance our social tennis program at the Club, foster better integration among players and new members, and create more opportunities for enjoyable matches. Our goal is to offer games at similar skill levels, making tennis even more fun and accessible for everyone!
The new social schedule can be viewed on our website here
These sessions will start from Monday 7th April.
For the invite only sessions, players suitable for these groups will be sent a link for registration. These sessions are led by a lead co-ordinator who will also collect money from the session (if required) and arrange players through the app. The mixed tennis social sessions are the existing club sessions and these run as they did before. Our pickleball sessions run as usual through the Heja app.
If you are interested in playing in the invite only sessions, you can register your interest by emailing tennis@fosltc.com Likewise, if you don’t receive a link please contact us.
