CHARITY CAKE SALE SATURDAY 13TH DECEMBER

Daisy will be having a cake sale from 9am on Saturday collecting for the charity below (e.g. brownies, cupcakes, cookies). Hope to see you there.

CHARITY TENNIS TOURNAMENT – SUNDAY 28TH DECEMEBR

Daisy will be hosting a charity Christmas tournament on Sunday 28th December from 10am in aid of the Charity HFT, who she will be running for in the Budapest Marathon in 2026. This charity provides amazing support for people living with learning disabilities, helping them live a happier and more independent life.
The tournament will consist of timed matches, with tie break scoring. The format will be a round robin/compass (depending on numbers) so players will get lots of matches on the day. The tournament will be played with yellow balls and both *adult* and *junior* members (*12+*) are encouraged to enter. This is a great chance to compete and have fun, whilst allowing HFT to keep carrying out the vital work they do. There will also be Christmas music, minced pies and some fun rules attached to matches!
The tournament entry fee is a minimum donation of £7.50 to my fundraising page.  Entry details will be on the members weekly update email
