Exmoor and West Somerset League and Club Tennis Play and Players

Based at Minehead Lawn Tennis Club are lots of active (if a little less than youthful) tennis players. Spurning aching knees, arms, back and other joints we leap about chasing that elusive yellow ball on our brightly covered hard courts with gay (do I really mean that? Sure why not!) abandon.

In between games, as we recover our breath and possibly our wits, we lounge convivially on the grass in front of the Tennis Club House shouting derisive remarks about other members top spin, back spin or devious side spin (well I do, the others are more restrained!). Sometimes it feels a bit like 'Last of the Summer Wine' but, hey, it's fun.

This blog is about the life and times of the senior members of the club tennis playing fraternity in Exmoor and West Somerset as we seek to cheat the advance of time, get some exercise to live a little longer and maybe just have a little bit of fun.

If you are a league or club tennis player, you will know already how varied are the people who frequent the asphalt fields of racket sport. If not, perhaps a little dip into our lives through this blog will persuade you to come along, see us and join in. We don't bite (well we haven't so far ... ) but we may be tempted to smash the ball at you occasionally and because we are well brung up, we will of course say sorry ... with a smile.

It's all a bit of fun ... as this blog (weblog, web log, web-log) hopes to be ... and it costs nothing so be a sport and book mark this page and come back often :-)
