Goodrich Tennis Club held a free Great British tennis day on Sunday, June, 25th and Benenden Summertime Slam, sponsored by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA).

With temperatures having been in the 30s the previous two weeks, it was a relief that the weather had cooled down somewhat by the Sunday.

The events were open to all members, non members, adults and children, and anyone was looking forward to an enjoyable afternoon.

The Summertime Slam began at 2pm and was well attended by both men and women who played a good few hours of tennis with all three courts in use, and meeting and chatting with all the club’s committee who were in attendance, as well as current members.

The juniors Great British tennis weekend event began at 3pm, and club coach, Mike Buck, was on hand to organise plenty of games during the afternoon, and even got the parents running around the courts in competition with their children.

Plenty of refreshments were available, and the afternoon was rounded off with a prize for every child that had attended.

All in all it was a highly successful event with more than 50 people in attendance. For more information about Goodrich Tennis Club, visit clubspark.lta.org.uk/GoodrichTennisClub or contact the Club Secretary, Kim Martin on 07801 314333
