Serving up £850 charity boost at Tealby tennis day
Ladies were back on court at Tealby Tennis Club for the annualcharity tennis tournament.
This year saw 25 players participate in a round-robin style tournament, before enjoying lunch in the club house.
Raffle winners were: Carol Newby, Rebecca Harrison, Jeanette Jackson, Anne Broome and Kate Liddy.
The day, organised by Issy Vincent, raised around £850 for charity.
Chantal Bailey was tasked with nominating a suitable charity to be the recipient of this year’s ladies’ day and she chose Hope Against Cancer.
Chantal said: ““It was a privilege to be asked to nominate a charity.
“This is a small charity, so this will mean an awful lot to them.
“Although based in Leicester, it supports people in this area.”
Chantal continued: “It has been absolutely amazing to be here and support the club’s charity day.
“Their enthusiasm and commitment has been fantastic and I thank them all on behalf of Hope Against Cancer.”
Club member Roz Wallis added: “We would like to thank everyone who took part in the tournament.
“Special thanks go to Kerry Strawson and Freda Cooper for the use of their courts too.”
