New Clubhouse for Odiham

Aim

We are aiming to erect a purpose-built clubhouse (12 m x 4 m) to double the size of the existing clubhouse, so we can welcome more members.

Who are we?

Odiham Tennis Club has members of all ages and abilities, ranging from team players representing the club to those who just wish to enjoy a casual game of tennis with friends. Families are very welcome, with a strong junior membership, and popular coaching programmes.

The club is run by a volunteer committee who organise a range of tennis sessions throughout the year including an annual championship, box leagues and social tennis sessions for all levels.  We also run a number of teams in local district leagues.

Why are we crowdfunding?

Our current clubhouse is no longer fit for purpose having been erected over 20 years ago.  The floor is rotting and there is not enough space to encourage more social participation in the club activities.

The new clubhouse will be double the size (12 m x 4 m) of the existing shed  with good amenities, including a fully fitted kitchen, social area, changing areas and a disabled toilet.

The aim is to provide more private changing facilities to encourage more junior members to play after school and during the weekends and holidays.

We also need more space to store our coaching equipment so that we can offer a comprehensive coaching programme for all abilities.

Odiham Tennis Club has been a part of the community in Odiham for many years, providing the opportunity to get fit and take part in competitions and social events for all ages.

We are happy to support juniors from a local Children's Home with free membership so that under-represented children have access to the club.

We are equally happy to support our local U3A to offer older members of the community the chance to stay fit in their later years.  A disabled toilet will be available in the new clubhouse.

The plans for the clubhouse are below.
