If you like it hot whilst watching great tennis and enjoying good company then our Finals Days were for you.
Junior Finals Day took place on Saturday 17th July with 45 players taking part in the day’s events. There was a good turn out and the weather was amazing. The standard of play was excellent and the attitude of all of the players on court was beyond reproach. Congratulations to everyone who participated. Details of the winners and runners up are attached. Many thanks to Mark, Dan and Ryan for organising a great day.
PBTC Junior Tournament 2021 – Resultsdoc
Senior Finals day Day took place on Sunday 18 July. Play started at 10am and went on throughout the day day with 10 matches being played. The club was thronged with people. The bar was open all day, supplemented by non-alcoholic refreshments, ice cold water and cakes under the gazebos in the car park, and an excellent barbecue on the patio. £2,196 was taken on the day which way surpasses the £1,274 taken in 2019. Many thanks to all the members and friends who helped make it such a special day. An enormous amount of work went into getting the club ready for its first big event for some time, and it was great that so many people volunteered their time to help sweep the courts, tidy up the grounds, cut the hedges, varnish the veranda and clean the Club House. On the day we were grateful to all the umpires and the people who helped provide the refreshments. Special thanks to Lyk and his family for the brilliant job they did running the barbecue – they had an even hotter day than most, except, perhaps for one or two of the players! Lastly, thanks to Robbie for organising such a fine event and driving it through – no mean feat. Details of the winners and runners-up are below.

COVID-19 Guidance
You will have received the Clubs latest COVID-19 Guidance by separate email. You will also find it on our website at http://purleyburytennisclub.net/2021/07/23/new-19-july-2021-covid-19-arrangements-be-responsible-respect-others/
This means that Our Club is able to operate more or less in the same way as before the pandemic. However, the onus is on all of us to behave responsibly and take appropriate precautions. In particular, DO NOT come to the Club if you have COVID-19 symptoms or are self-isolating. If you are unfortunate enough to contract COVID-19 please inform the club. Our buildings will all be open, but please avoid crowding together inside, and it will be one person at a time at the bar. We will be accepting payment in cash again, and reinstating the use of tokens for floodlight usage in August. The QR Code will still be available for you to use when you visit the Club. The practice wall will not be brought back into use because it would disturb the neighbours – we are considering options to present at the AGM next year.
Be Responsible, Respect Others and Enjoy Your Tennis
