Bristol Central Tennis Club

Bristol Central Tennis Club is a friendly members-only tennis club, tucked away in a quiet location near St Andrews Park in central Bristol.

'Central' was established in 1932 and renovated in 1999, to include a modern and comfortable clubhouse, complete with bar & kitchen area.  We have 4 all-weather, floodlit courts so you can play for the whole year, with no extra costs for using the floodlights or for balls during club play and league matches.  We cater for the full range of players, from beginner (with a thriving Junior section and popular Improvers Courses for adults) through social play (Club Play & First Saturday Tournaments) to more competitive play (with a number of teams playing in the Avon Tennis Leagues - no further fees required).

The bar is not staffed but about 20 members are holders of bar keys in addition to the bar steward so asking around if you'd like a drink will usually do the trick!  There are periodic social events, such as summer BBQs (e.g. at the end of summer league) and a Christmas party after the Annual General Meeting in December.

(Summer League opponents, please note that some home matches are played at Coombe Dingle - more info)

The tennis club is behind the Bowls Club, at the Sommerville Road end of Derby Road - follow 'Happy Lane' (a small lane that runs parallel to Sefton Park Road, to the side of the Bowls Club) for 100m or so, until you come to our gate.  If it is locked (as it should be unless you are expected - keys available for members), shout & wave at people on court and someone should come to help.

BCTC Amended Rules

BCTC Rules have been amended to comply with LTA and HMRC requirements, and to reflect better, the way in which we operate.  The amended Rules were adopted at the AGM on 9th Dec 2011.      Thanks, The BCTC Committee
