And the Cheshire LTA Club of the Year is…
Brabyns tennis club in Marple!
Brabyns LTC in Marple has scooped Cheshire LTA Club of the Year 2022. At the County Awards Evening in Chester, attended by over 300 people, Brabyns was named as “an outstanding example of a strong committee and a highly motivated coaching team attracting new members with innovative activities” and that the club “stood out” amongst nominations.
Captain Andy Baggott was thrilled. “Brabyns is extremely honoured to receive this prestigious award. It shows the commitment, drive and vision of our committee, all volunteers, and our passionate coaching team. Thank you to everyone involved in growing and supporting our club.”
President Derek Waterfield said: “competition was strong, there were so many outstanding clubs shortlisted around the County but the recent development of facilities at Brabyns and the incredible standard and variety of coaching offered at the club stood us in great stead”.
There must be something in the air at Brabyns LTC! Head Coach Mark Beaver was awarded Cheshire Development Coach of the Year in 2021 and President (and past captain) Derek Waterfield was awarded Cheshire LTA Lifetime Achievement award in 2019 followed by a national LTA Meritorious Lifetime Award for services to tennis.

Highly popular are the fun and instructive holiday camps for schoolchildren with multi-sport activities. For further information contact the Head Coach:
The clubhouse has a bar and kitchen and there are regular socials, often with tennis.
If you’re after competitive tennis, we have four ladies and five men’s teams in the summer NE Cheshire League whilst in the winter there are seven teams competing. Plus there are club box leagues to join and an annual club tournament in the autumn.
New members are always welcome. Tennis is a great way to exercise, enjoy the beautiful scenery around Marple whilst on court (distracting!), and make friends. Membership is from under £5 a week for adults, much less for juniors. Visit our website for more details about the club and instructions for becoming a member. You don’t have to be a member - we have a community pay and play on two courts.
