BBC Spotlight televises our new courts

BBC Spotlight visited St Ives Tennis Club to film our new courts project.
Reporter Andy Birkett interviewed men's captain James Brown, the driving force behind us becoming the first club in Cornwall to have artificial clay, and juniors Lulu Martin and Tilly Eldridge who provided ton-court action for the camera.
Andy even found time to have a hit on Court 2 before adjourning to the mobile editing unit with cameraman Stuart after Tilly hit a screamer of a shot past him to round off the filming.
There was always the chanced that ongoing events might knock us off the programme - but Plymouth Argyle didn't sign Lionel Messi and we were on.
Thanks to Andy Birkett, his producer, cameraman Stuart and all at BBC Spotlight for providing a fantastic showcase for our new-look club.
