Holt Sports Courts will be holding their annual presentation evening on Friday 21st November at the Bowls Club, 7pm. In addition to the trophy presentation from the recent tennis and pickleball competitions, we shall be having a quiz, raffle and other fund-raising things.
We would encourage all the tournament winners and runners up to attend in person to receive their trophies. This year in addition to the tennis trophies we have also introduced the pickleball "Players player of the year".
The bar will be open and this takes both cash and card. The quiz is £2 per head will teams up to 6 people, cash is required for this together with another game.
Don't worry if you don't have enough people for a team as we can sort teams out on the night for those required.
