The format for the tennis competition is that there will be 8 teams of 6 players. Each team will consist of 1 pair of Class 2-3 players 1 pair of Class 4-5 players and 1 pair of all other levels. so we are hoping for wide participation.

We are also asking you to donate good quality “pre loved” Coats, Jackets, Dresses and handbags which we will display and sell on the day - so you can browse the rails when you are off court or at lunch. Jewellery is also welcome. We will be collecting these donations at the club on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th May so we can have them ready to display on the following morning.
We are also running a raffle – Top prizes are a Gold and Diamond necklace from the Jewel Casket and a €200 gift voucher for Pamela Scott. Tickets - €10 per strip of 5 - are available from Karen MacKenna, Catherine Keane or in the office. Payment can be by Revolut.
Entry fee is €30 for tennis plus lunch or €20 for lunch only. You can also pop up anytime if you just want to browse the rails!
