Northern Aces

Northern Aces, the LGBT tennis group for the North West of England is once again holding an annual international tennis tournament, through our involvement with the Gay & Lesbian Tennis Association. Registration for the Manchester GLTA tournament, 14 - 16 September 2012, Manchester, UK, is now open. Full details on our website.

Closing date for registrations is 31 July 2012.

The aims of the Group as set out in the Constitution are to "To provide the means for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (GLBT) persons to play tennis". We hope, however, that we do much more than that, and that people can come along to play and improve their tennis in a friendly, relaxed and sociable atmosphere.

The Group runs weekly tennis sessions at Sportcity, 2pm-5pm every Saturday and Sunday. There is no need to book - you can just turn up on the day. If you are attending for the very first time send us a message so that we can arrange for a steering committee member to welcome you.

The group organises both internal and international tennis tournaments. Group members also frequently travel elsewhere in the UK, as well as overseas, to compete in International GLBT tournaments.

To find out more about us, please spend a little time looking at our website. If you would like to come down to play at one of the regular weekly sessions or if you would like any further information about the group please contact us via our form or by email at info@northernacestennis.com

Membership runs from Jan to Dec each year. We look forward to welcoming any new members to our group and a big thank you to all our existing members, have a great 2012 season.
