Awards Night 2024.

The Derbyshire awards evening returned, after a three year break, on March the 8th 2024.

The event was held at Derbyshire County Cricket Ground and hosted 250 people from across the Derbyshire Tennis Community. It was amazing to see players from some many clubs, including the very youngest age of 5yrs old, right the way through to our veteran legends. 

The Awards Evening managed to break even, with the kind sponsorship from the DTA League & the Finance Advice Centre Ltd. Alongside this, the generosity from our community in support of the Raffle also raised over £1000. 

To help bring the event to life, a special mention must go to BalloonzUK for the decor, the band DUSK for their live performance and to ThreeSixSevenNine Photography for capturing such a fantastic evening. 

This event was a great success but would not have happened with out the support of the Management Committee and one of Derbyshire Tennis’s best supporters, Mr Rob Salmon. A massive thank you also goes to Rob Hawkins & his team at DTC for taking on such a big admin roll in making everything run smoothly. 

We plan to bring this back as an annual event,  and to make it even bigger and better.
