THE LAWN

Some Groovy Tennis Fashion.

Do you have classic photos of groovy tennis fashion???

We would love to showcase old or new fashions…

Welcome to Another Lawn for summer, yet today has different ideas.

 

PLEASE 

PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO PLTC

To run this wonderful club we require that all members be on time with payment of their subs. There is a lot to maintain and action at PLTC, and if funds are slow to come in, then works become difficult to manage. We have a number of members who have still not paid up - these subs are now three weeks overdue.

Thank you.
