"It was fantastic to see so many people from the community coming together to support the club.
"Raising over £1,200 in one evening will make a real difference as we move forward with some exciting plans.”
One of those plans includes court resurfacing, which is due to take place very soon and will significantly improve playing facilities for members and visitors.
The club is also hoping to expand its social tennis sessions, giving people of all ages and abilities the chance to get involved in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
