This spring Caroline Griffiths triedout a tennis holiday in Spain andhad a fantastic time.
This got us thinking. We couldorganise a trip for club members
and negotiate a discount if wehave enough takers.
If you’re interested, please emailthe club with “Tennis Camp” inthe subject line. Say if you wouldprefer to stay in the UK or goabroad.
March-April 2015 is good forEurope but we could go later inthe year in the UK.Let us know what you think.
