Kent Awards 2016: The club was very successful on Saturday night at The Wildernesse Club in Seal, Sevenoaks. We picked up both awards we were nominated in! Well done to club secretary, Caroline Ratcliffe who won Kent Volunteer of the Year for the second time! Congratulations also to Ulysse Abbate who won Kent Young Leader of the Year. The club have now won 3 of these awards, which just goes to show the benefit of growing your own coaches! Both awards were thoroughly deserved and it was a wonderful evening showcasing the talent within Kent tennis. A special mention to Dave Jenkins and his band, Oliver Twist, who got everyone on the dance floor all night! I hope you like the photo!
