Lady Bay Lawn Tennis Club

The LBLTC was formerly the Royal British legion tennis club; it sought partial autonomy from the main club several years ago. It has allowed the club more freedom to operate and to secure funding from national sources; it has resulted in the complex we see today. It has a series of competition courts with state of the art flood lighting and an unparalleled junior tennis facility. Its success relies, no only on the quality facilities, but also on its attitude to coaching by its dedicated and hard working committee. Members who join the tennis club are required to also join the RS&SC as a condition of membership.

2006 brings the first championship title for 22 years back to the Club. The first mixed team has been crowned as champions in the summer league, and was recently voted runner up in the Notts LTA 'Team of the Year' awards for winning 5 consecutive divisional titles prior to topping the league. The 1st men are now in div 2, the 1st ladies in div 1. But, most importantly, the Club offers competitive tennis to all standards of player all year round. The teams are well spread throughout the divisions.

It again boasts junior County champions, Emily Crowe & Rebecca Bradley both hold Under 14 titles in singles and doubles. Both represent the County teams at U18 level. Emily regularly competes with the top 32 for her age group, in tournaments around the Country. Rob Chambers, who recently returned from a years professional coaching in Barcelona, and Ben Dunbar, both 18, feature in LTA Challenger events.

The playing surfaces have recently been overhauled and new floodlights extend the junior coaching programme into the winter. With the prospect of a complete rebuild of the old club to include new changing rooms and social facilities, the future looks particularly rosy.

Investment in youth has once again been the Club's saviour, please read our club history.
