Dust off those rackets, tennis season is almost upon us.

Congleton Lawn Tennis Club is gearing up for the start of its 2025 summer season.

Whilst members have continued to play in various competitions over the winter, the club's committee has been busy planning a busy summer schedule.

This year will see the introduction of a new over 50s doubles event.

Teams and competitions lead Andrew Giltrap said: "We had a range of exciting competitions during 2024, including new singles events for the over 50s.

"We are looking to build on that this year, with the introduction of doubles events for the over 50s too!"
