On Friday 27th February, Tennis Lancashire hosted its Presentation Evening at Bolton Wanderers F.C.. The event saw members of the tennis community from across Lancashire come together to celebrate the achievements and hard work of our clubs, volunteers, and coaches.
Numerous Tennis Lancashire Awards, nominated by the Lancashire tennis community and judged by the Tennis Lancashire Judging Panel, were presented by Roger Draper on the evening. This was followed by a very interesting question and answer session with Roger who has had many roles in sport as ex CEO of Sport England and the LTA as well as being a tennis parent to GB Number 1 Jack Draper.
