Peter Friedmann, The Club Chairman, hosted an open vets tournament at the club on Sunday October 23rd.  Mens and ladies pairs came from a wide area including the Hampshire Club, New Milton, East Dorset and further afield.

The purpose of the tournament was firstly to give people a day of enjoyable and competitive tennis playing people they would not usually encounter.  Secondly, the tournament aimed to raise some money for Tennis First - the Tennis Charity that adds support to our very best youngsters such as Liam Broady and Ollie Golding who are on the edge of breaking into the men's tour and will be the successors to Andy Murray.

The final was won by our own Bob Battersby and Nigel Espley, who defeated John Wilson and Chris Mitchell from the Hampshire Club.  All those who did not enter missed a really good day.
