Charity Day Success

Big thank you to everyone who attended our Charity Day on the 6th September where we had a total of 40 players on court throughout the day to take part in a masterclass coaching session led by former Davis Cup pros Danny Sapsford and James Auckland.

Fiona, Jenny and Jess provided an amazing selection of food and refreshments with Fran running the tombola. Massive thank you to all four for there key role in supporting this event which with the oncourt sessions raised a total of £350, which will go to future disability coaching sessions with Bramfield House School.

Also massive shout out to Danny and James for the expertly delivered sessions and for helping set up the disability sessions in the first place through Danny's compant Bright Ideas. To add with the sessions, they also provided a brillant exhibition with myself and Ewan joining in for very entertaining doubles set (which Danny and I won, we'll forget the score for the tiebreaker though when Ewan and I took them on afterwards......). Day was topped off with our future starts Felix and Archie taking Danny and James on, despite facing a couple of match points, the experience of the former pro's just allowed them to prevail.
