Money raised for charity

 The Tennis Vets Society helps to raise funds for charity. 

Steve Wells, founder and coordinator of TennisVets (left in the picture), presents a cheque for £600 to Alan Richardson from the Alzheimer's Society in Weston.  The TennisVets Society is a not-for-profit group of players, whose aim is to raise money for charity through a series of tennis tournaments in the SouthWest.  Founded in 2009, it has raised over £17,000 for local charities.

The annual Tennis Vets tournament was held at Clevedon Lawn Tennis Club on Friday 26th April.  15 pairs from Bristol, Wiltshire and North Somerset had a great day's tennis, accompanied by excellent food and drink. 

Tournament winners were John Anderson and Alison Price from Henleaze Tennis Club, beating Mike Maiden and Brenda Plummer (Clevedon Lawn Tennis Club) in a one-set tie-break final.
