THE Avenue Tennis Club, in Burnham-on-Sea, will be taking part in the new Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) initiative 'Play Your Way', which is aimed at encouraging new and returning players back into tennis.

Tennis club manager and coach Barry Ramsden said that, with tennis being one of the sports the government has told us we can play, he wanted to encourage people to give tennis a go.

Any person can book a court and play at the Avenue Tennis Club, The Grove, TA8 2PA.

You can play together, with up to four people, at £10 per hour per court - with four courts being available every day of the week, and Ramsden available for tips and advice via 01278 782758.

Players can access the sessions through this link: www.lta.org.uk/play-compete/back-to-tennis.

The tennis club has a month's free membership offer available for anyone who wants to give tennis a go and wants to get an insight into the club before joining; call 01278 782758 or 07749 878581, or see www.avenuetennis.com, for more details.
