We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in and supported the Saffron Memorial Tournament. The turnout was fantastic, and we believe Saffron would have been proud of the community spirit we witnessed, especially in support of the local charity, Young Champs. We have raised over £1078!

Young Champs is a charity based in Stockwell that provides affordable tennis coaching to disadvantaged young people, with lessons starting at just £2. We are thrilled to share that two of their talented young athletes have recently been selected for the Surrey squads in their age groups.

We were fortunate to have had beautiful weather, which contributed to a smooth and enjoyable day for all. The tournament winners were Leah Wakeman and Paul Titus- congratulations to them!

Special Thanks To:

• Penny Sloman: Organising the event meticulously.
• Mike and Mila: For running the tennis games seamlessly.
• Edwina: For preparing a delicious lunch and the best lemon drizzle cake..
• Amir: For providing prizes of tennis balls and free racket stringing
• Catherine: For booking the courts.
• Amy: For setting everything up and managing the bar whilst also playing!
• Max Sports: For supplying the tennis balls.
• Lewis: From Young Champs for joining us and making the day feel personal.

Overall, it was a successful and fun filled day. Thank you again to everyone who came, helped, and enjoyed the day!
