Thank you to everyone who supported our Charity Autumn Ball on Saturday evening and for those who bought raffle tickets over the past few months - I have listed the winners below.
Firstly, thank you to everyone who has commented so positively and praised the 3 course meal; the venue, the service and the fantastic DJ - I doubt for the £40 ticket price anyone could have secured a better 'dinner dance' event. We will be writing to the Golf Club and DJ to thank them for their excellent support and service.
I would like to especially thank Helen and Allan Jenkins, as without their support the Ball simply would not have happened - please take the time to thank them for their general support of our wonderful tennis club next time you see them.
Secondly, our Chairman's charity for this year is The Young Lives Foundation, which is a Maidstone based charity supporting disadvantaged and troubled children across the South East of England. 85% of donations go to front line support, which is a high proportion. We have managed to raise almost £2,500 from our food nights; golf event; autumn ball and raffle - we sold over £700 of raffle tickets on the Ball night alone, so everyone who attended please pat yourselves on the back - the Ball and Raffle have by far been the biggest charity revenue generators with c.£2,100 raised from these two events alone...so well worth the effort.
And now to our prize winners:
