The Club, which was founded in 1929, has the use of five good full-sized lawns and a grade II listed pavilion.  It provides all the necessary equipment (mallets, balls, hoops), so prospective members and casual players need only bring a pair of flat-soled shoes.  The pavilion has cloakrooms and a recently re-fitted kitchen.  There is a telephone, 0115 922 2237 (but this will only be answered if someone is within reach).

The lawns are available to members all day (weather permitting) seven days a week from mid April to early October (except during tournaments).  Tuesday afternoons and evenings are the club day and (weather permitting) members will turn up and play - most games are arranged informally between members.  Saturday afternoons are also popular and club teas are normally held on the first afternoon of each month.  A coaching course for beginners is run each year, starting in May, and subsequently informal coaching at all levels is given freely by experienced members.
