Hobson Cup 2026
Story:
The Hobson Cup is an annual alumni event run by the University of Bristol Tennis Club. Past and present members of UBTC face off in a fun-filled afternoon of tennis, netball and football.
The Hobson Cup was started in memory of Jack Hobson, a past UBTC member, BUCS player and student coach. Jack's contribution to UBTC during his time as a student was outstanding. Jack passed away after he graduated.
This year we are raising money for Healthy Minds, a mental health programme run by the University of Bristol sport department. Healthy Minds aims to improve the wellbeing of Bristol students affected by ill mental health through a supported, monitored and mentored programme of physical activity. 90% of participants that have completed the programme feel that Healthy Minds had a positive effect on their mental health/wellbeing goals.

UBTC went head-to-head with the University of Birmingham in Bristol's annual Derby Day. From tense tiebreakers to non-stop support from the sidelines, our players fought hard in every rubber during a brilliant, competitive yet friendly fixture.
UBTC X UBWFC Collab
18 April 2026
On the 18th of April, Bristol's Women's Football Club and Tennis Club joined forces to host a Super Saturday raffle, bake sale, and football tournament to raise money for Anthony Nolan. UBTC entered a team of our own, making a great run all the way to the mixed division final!
Christmas and Spring Formal
UBTC hosted two standout formals this year, starting with our Winter Formal in November and wrapping up the season with our Spring Formal in March. Both evenings were fantastic opportunities for the entire club—from brand-new social members to our BUCS team players—to swap their tennis kit for formal wear, enjoy a sit-down meal, and celebrate everything we achieved together on and off the court!
24hr Marathon
7th - 8th March 2026

This is part of our international women's day celebrations, and we will be raising money for End Violence Against Women.
Stay tuned for updates on how to get involved and donate!
Socials
Throughout the year, we've hosted dozens of socials—stretching from Harry Potter dress-up to Saturday morning run clubs. Our weekly socials are the best opportunity for UBTC members to meet up and hang out off the court!
