Burnham-On-Sea’s Avenue Tennis Club has raised funds for Children in Need by holding a tennis tournament and quiz night.
Tennis Manager Barry Ramsden organised the events in support of the annual fundraising campaign.
Barry says: “The fun tennis tournament was run as a mixed doubles tournament, with the lady partner swapping after four games.”
“The ladies’ winner was Josie Perry and the eventual Men’s winner was Sam Goodhew following a four way tie on which resulted in them playing a singles knockout to determine the eventual winner.”
The tennis club raised a total of £101.
The club has a month’s free membership offer available for anyone who wants to give tennis a go to get an insight into the club before joining – contact Barry at the club on 01278 782758 or 07749 878581.
