Swaythling Lawn Tennis Club

The club is holding a fun 'Strawberry Cream Tea' Mixed Doubles Tennis tournament on Saturday 11th July, arrive 1pm for a 1.30pm start. This is open to all club members. This includes adults and teenagers happy to play tennis with adults. We’re suggesting we wear ‘whites’ if possible!

If you are interested in playing, please email Malcolm Riddle on [email protected] or you can add your name to the tournament list on the club noticeboard. There is an entry fee of £2 per person, payable on the day, to fund prizes.

The cut off date for entering the competition is midday Friday 10 July.

Mixed pairings will be drawn on the day.

Scones with strawberries and cream will be served during the afternoon with donations to SLTC's chosen charity Wessex Cancer gratefully received. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the charity shortly before or after the tournament would be very welcome to do so. Martin (club treasurer) at 35 Ethelburt Ave. will be taking care of a collecting bucket from Wessex Cancer.

Hoping for a fine and warm day!
