GBTW Success

We had all 13 courts in full flowing tennis glory to welcome visitors for The Great British Tennis Weekend on Saturday and Sunday.....

 

Saturday saw some tiny tots pick up tennis rackets for the first time with some superb coached kids sessions (Thank you Michael Jones and Olly Pimblett). Not a tear in  sight, only joy!

Cardio tennis went down as a pant sweating sucess (Thank you Dan) with several members joining in showing that despite an evening full of wine you can still run around a tennis court and ocassionally hit a ball!

The afternoon saw a typical British summertime afternoon with a rainy wash-out, so thanks for those that braved the wet and wild conditions.

Sunday was a belter.....sunshine, grass court fun with freeplay, the Wimbledon ballot and a Pimms filled barbecue.

What's not to like about Richmond Lawn Tennis Club?

 

Special thanks to all members that helped out including;

Lyndsey Halper, Laura Ritchie, Cat MacFarlane, Maxim and Polina, Anna, Anne Farrow, Bob Andreini, Iain Ure, Nick Heath, Matt Joseph, Scott Shields, Ray Cullan, Sarah Santy, Sandra, Ailsa Williams. 

An extra special thank you to the latest "Specialist under 3's coach" and all round event hero/organiser Oliver Pimblett.

 

Bring on the Summer Party!
