| Four floodlit tennis courts were installed by Wivenhoe & District Sporting Facilities Trust in 2001 at a cost of �127,500. This was made possible by a Sports Lottery Grant from Sport England of �79,798, �40,000 from Colchester Borough Council, with the balance due to local fund-raising. The courts are home for the members of Wivenhoe Tennis Club who play there all year round because of the excellent floodlighting. The Club runs a Winter Tennis League (Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles) for clubs in the area, which is very well supported. | The Tennis Club are keen for new members to join. There are about 60 already. These people play at all different standards. For details, call Ginny on tel: 01206 825964. You can also find more details about the Club from their own web site: http://www.wivenhoetennis.org.uk/ The courts can also be hired by the general public. This is via the Spar Supermarket at The Cross, Wivenhoe. Play is on a �Pay and Play� basis, with booking done at the time of play. The cost is �4 an hour for a court (�1.50 for the court if all players are under 16), plus a �5 key deposit. Floodlighting if required is �1 extra. | |
