Dear OTC Members,

Thank you to all our members who ‘OPTED IN’ to the Wimbledon Ticket Ballot this year. We have been allocated an unprecedented 14 pairs of tickets.

As we are required to hold our ballot as close to the end of April as we can the committee has decided to hold the Wimbledon Ballot along with our annual May Day Bank Holiday Tournament on Monday the 2nd of May. Running the event on the Bank Holiday weekend has meant we can introduce a ‘Junior tournament’ allowing some of our juniors to also take part.

What’s planned?

Session dates are –
Mens – Monday 4th April – 7.30pm-9.30pm
