Tennis was played in the twenties on 5 courts south of the east end of Filands. In 1935 land was bought at the present site off Tetbury Hill; two hard courts were installed and in 1938 the pavilion was transferred and the old site relinquished. War meant the end of tennis and after the war it took much effort to re-establish the courts. But it was done; membership grew and in 1995 two additional all weather courts were installed.
The Adye family have long been associated with the club. David Aydye of Adye’s the grocers in the High St helped buy the present site and Mrs Adye opened the new courts in 1995.
