Our '100' Club - sign up NOW
Each year, the Club organises a '100' club to raise funds for the new clubhouse. Please support your club - you could be a winner too.
For those of you unfamiliar with what a 100 Club is, it involves a payment of £12 per year which gives you a number for a year (you can have as many numbers as you like be it for yourself or family and friends) which will then be entered into a quarterly draw. There will be three cash prizes* drawn per quarter with 50% of ticket sales being paid out in prizes and 50% going to the club. The first quarterly draw will be on 1st July. Thereafter on 1st October, 1st January and 1st April.
* If 100 numbers are sold first prize would be £75, second £50 and third £25.
If you would like to support this fundraiser, please view and complete the form below or contact Jane Laborda - jane.laborda@hotmail.co.uk
Schools Roadshow - a massive success
The Club held a successful week of introducing tennis to many local children.
Tennis sessions were held in local schools followed by an Open Weekend at the Club.
During the Open Event, local primary school children (and parents) enjoyed a fun tennis session, with tennis games, inflatables and activities, in our indoor centre.
Many thanks to Phil, a British Tennis Coach, who visited local schools and organised the sessions at the club. Many of our tennis leaders helped on both days too and were all amaxing. Also, a big thank you goes to all the club volunteers who helped throughout the weekend.
Excellent result by the U14 boys team
The 14 and under team travelled to Swanmore on Sunday to play their second
Aegon League match this Summer.
With Mark Mackie injured, Jack Murn joined the team for his first league match and performed really well. Andover Boys beat Swanmore by 5 matches to 1. An excellent result. Well done boys.
