Entertainment & Activities

Elmwood Lawn Tennis Club is literally across the road from my house. I am a member and as my guest you can play there for a fee of £5 per person per day. If you'd like me to arrange this, please ask. Every Friday night is "community night" when everyone and anyone in the community is invited in and the bar is open from 5:30pm and food is served, all at extremely reasonable prices. It's a popular and fun event, so please feel free to join in if you'd like to.
