Uphill is one of the largest clubs in the South West with a thriving junior section that has over 100 children on the books. This then integrates into the senior club. The club had 7 league teams in action this season, 5 in the North Somerset mixed divisions and 1 in the mens division. A further team played in the Bristol mens league division one where they finished in the top two for the fourth year in a row.

The Club was represented at County level by a number of our junior players and at several tournaments around the country these juniors were successful in individual and pairs events.

Ruth Harding with her posse of helpers arranged a successful variety of social events throughout the year, all of which were well attended and enjoyed by the participants.
