π€οΈπΎ Tennis Sessions β Cancellation πΎ
Afternoon all,
Unfortunately, Iβm going to have to cancel tomorrowβs tennis sessions.
As most of you will know, my primary employment is as a wholetime firefighter with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service. The last few weeks have been extremely difficult, and the service has declared a major incident due to the number of wildfires across South Wales.
Having worked the last three days, doing 12-hour days and a 17-hour shift on the side of a mountain last night, and being back in again tonight, I canβt guarantee that Iβll be finished in time to set up for the sessions.
More importantly, I wouldnβt be able to run the sessions safely due to the lack of sleep.
Iβm really sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and I hope you all understand. β€οΈ
A huge thank you to everyone who has come along to the sessions over the last three weeks. Itβs been fantastic seeing everyone enjoying themselves and getting involved. πΎπ
Iβll be back after the summer holidays to restart the after-school tennis sessions, and I look forward to seeing you all then!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of H&G Inclusive Sports Wales ππ
Stay safe everyone. π
