Our Teams
Not all members choose to play in a team at all, but for those who are selected for a team we have both level and mixed doubles teams in the mid-Wiltshire, Wiltshire, and Bristol leagues. For the 2024 - 2025 season we have three teams in the level doubles league and three teams in the mixed 4/2 league where teams consist of 4 men and 2 ladies. We have a men's doubles team in division 2 of the Bristol league. There are also various cup and knockout competitions that the club enters each year.
We play away matches all around Wiltshire. Most of our away fixtures are in the nearby towns of Corsham, Trowbridge, Melksham, Calne, Devizes, Bradford-on-Avon, Warminster, and Westbury. However we also play teams further afield in Bristol,Swindon and Salisbury!
