On Tuesday August 4th the National Trust property at Killerton House in Devon showcased an event called “Try It Tuesday”; the idea behind the scheme is to encourage visitors to Killerton to make better use of the outside spaces on the grounds by taking part in at least 2 sporting activities every Tuesday in August 2015.
Exwick Tennis Club from Exeter were at the forefront of the proceedings offering FREE tennis for families from 11.00am – 15.30pm, Exwick coaches & National Trust volunteers all got together to showcase a day of fun tennis in front of the main house at Killerton. Mums, dads, brothers, sisters and grandparents all got involved in what was a fantastic turn out on the day with well over 300 people taking park in the tennis activities.
Steve Ashton, Director of Tennis at Exwick said “The views across the parkland and surrounding areas are breath-taking; showcasing tennis in such a beautiful surrounding was a great privilege. We have supported a lot of community events in the past and this one was by far the most successful one we have ever done, it was great to see so many families having so much fun playing tennis together, it was a fantastic day all round”
