Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Tennis Wales is delighted to notify you that at 7-00pm on Friday 7th October 2011, it will be staging its annual Awards evening at the Cardiff City Stadium. The evening promises to be another memorable celebration of the many current achievements in Welsh tennis. The event will consist of a two course Hot Fork Buffet, plus a half bottle of wine and the presentation of the Tennis Wales Awards.

We are also very fortunate to announce that John Parry will be our Guest Speaker for the evening.  Known as "Wales New Voice of Wimbledon" John has been an International Tennis Umpire for 30 years and has chaired eight Wimbledon finals. John will be sharing his experiences with us all in his ‘It’s only a game’ speech.
