MARCH – INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY & WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

March is Women’s History Month, with International Women’s Day taking place on Saturday 8th March. Hence the Purple decorations at the Clubhouse at the moment. We were very fortunate to have our application for funding from the Kent LTA agreed. Therefore we will be celebrating during the month of March, so don’t forget to wear purple, which is the colour for International Women’s Day. You can book on via Tom’s Clubspark Pages;

Saturday 15th from 11am – 12noon Cardio Tennis

 Its a great way to join in and socialise even if you haven’t played in a while or your new to the sport. Wear something Purple too, as its the Official Colour of International Women’s Day.

Saturday 22nd from 1-2pm Women & Girls Joint Session

You don’t have to be mother & daughter, you can be niece & aunt, grandmother & grandaughter, or just family friends. You also don’t have to both be members either, just come and join in some fun tennis activities. Don’t forget to wear something Purple as that’sthe official colour on International Women’s Day. Do then stay for tea and cake.

Sunday 23rd from 2-4pm American Tournament Celebrating Women

Our usual monthly American will Celebrate Women this month. So wear some purple and come and celebrate with us. Male members of the club are also welcome but we would really love to see lots of the ladies members attending.
