Anyone for tennis? Come to Central Square

With the improving weather, The Trust’s two tennis courts on

Central Square are a great place to improve your ball skills, or

just have a friendly match.

Both courts, which have recently been refurbished, are free to

use for all Suburb residents and their guests. Advance booking is

advised as the courts are both very popular.

Just visit tinyurl.com/hgstc to make your free booking.

Please note that these courts are only to be used by those

people who have booked for a specific time period. They are

strictly not to be used for coaching/lessons, by non-residents,

nor for any other purpose than tennis.

If you have any queries, please contact the Trust office at

mail@hgstrust.org or ring 020 8455 1066.
