SYDNEY REAL TENNIS CLUB

The Sydney Real Tennis Club (SRTC) has signed an agreement with the Cheltenham Recreation Club (CRC) to build a Real Tennis Court and club rooms to add to the existing facilities.

With the help of private pledges/ donations and a grant from the NSW Government, there is sufficient financial support to kick off the project, and if all goes according to plan, our new real tennis court will be up and ready for action in September 2024.

Thousands of hours of planning, research, documentation and lobbying have been undertaken pro-bono by a small band of dedicated Sydney members, which is not bad considering the club hasn't had a court for 17 years!

SRTC now needs everyone who has generously pledged financial support to please contribute money as soon as possible. If you know of anyone else who may be interested in helping - please forward them this link: https://www.sydneyrealtennis.com.au/donation  

It is not too late to add another name to the honour board! 

Any additional money into the building fund is greatly appreciated as there are bound to be extra costs along the way and SRTC is still raising the final money to ensure the court is built to specification.

CHELTENHAM RECREATIONAL CLUB

The Cheltenham Recreational Club (CRC) was established in 1912 through a bequest of freehold land which can only be used for sporting activities. The club has tennis, croquet and lawn bowl sections. It also have a two storey clubhouse with a bar and restaurant. In October 2018 over 95% of CRC members voted in favour of establishing a real tennis section of the club and to partner with the SRTC to build a new court adjoining the existing clubhouse.
