The Lily Foundation is a small charity which predominantly raises funds for research into mitochondrial disorders which are genetic and incurable.
The tournament will take place on courts at Bampton Tennis Club and several in the village, (now of Downton fame!) and will be run as an American tournament with each couple playing a ‘round robin’ against each of the others on their court. The couple winning the most games will then go through to the quarter finals which is hoped to be played before lunch. Play will start at 9am PROMPTLY but if you are unable to make it this early please state on the entry form. Otherwise, please be punctual as time is always at a premium. Everyone is invited to Bampton Pavilion from 1pm to enjoy a mouth-watering lunch, followed by the conclusion of the tournament.
