TENNIS fans can hone their skills at a new club in Darlington's Eastbourne Sports Complex.

The club, which opens today, will operate on a pay-as- you-play basis.

Tennis coach Dave Weyman will be on hand to offer advice.

Club members will have access to the four courts at the Eastbourne complex.

Beginners are welcome and equipment will be available for those who need it.

The cost of each two-hour session will be £2.75 per person, but players do not have to stay for the full session.

The first session will run from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Children over the age of 12 are welcome if they are accompanied by an adult.

For further information about the club contact Janet Cooper on (01325) 245574.
