Wednesday Afternoon Tennis is coordinated by Yvonne Cottam. There are two groups playing three sets each. The earlier group plays between 2:00 pm and 4.00pm and the later between 4.00pm and 6pm. Most games are doubles with the occasional singles when required. All the games are pre-planned, with the intention of creating balanced play.
