Milford Tennis and Squash Club will officially re-open their new clubhouse in Lucerne Road next Saturday (Feb 26th). Former Great Britain Davis Cup finalist Mark Cox will formally open the new facility at 1pm before playing a number of exhibition matches against selected Milford players throughout the afternoon. Club chairman, Ken Burbidge commented: “Saturday the 26th will be a very important day in our 82 year history. We are delighted to welcome Mark Cox to open our new clubhouse. We are now fully functioning and anyone interested in joining any of our sections would be very welcome to come along and watch the tennis from 1:45pm."
The original building, parts of which were 80 years old, was destroyed in a fire on Boxing Day 2009 and after a year of rebuilding the new clubhouse is finally up and running. The club's tennis and squash members have continued to play throughout the rebuild, making use of the indoor areas saved by swift action of the fire service and a small marquee has also been used for club business. The bridge, art and mah jong sections have had to find alternative premises for over a year but will now be welcomed back.
