Tennis Coach, Terry Franks, reports on a triumphant charity event held at the local hotel.....
On Saturday 13 July I represented Barnt Green Tennis Club at the 3rd annual charity event held at the Old Rose and Crown, Lickey.
The event raised £1000.00 for Cure Leukaemia and was hosted and organised by Andrew Hodges whose children receive coaching at Barnt Green.
The event was well supported and the mini tennis which I ran on the grassy area in front of the hotel proved popular all day.
I think the day was a resounding success for the charity and a very useful opportunity to raise awareness of tennis in the local area and I am pleased to say that a number of enquiries were received on the day.
The space involved was limited and as you can see from the photos the mini nets were placed between the flower borders but that just seemed to add to the fun. I did spend a fair amount of time retrieving balls from the brook as we were also playing on a slope!
