Lancaster Tennis Club is building on the success of its junior coaching programme and its Saturday Play Tennis sessions, by organizing a singles tennis tournament for juniors on 27th and 28th August.

The Club, which is based in Lune Road, tell us the tournament is intended for juniors from all parts of Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham, the Lune Valley and South Lakes and not just for its own junior members. There will be singles events for both boys and girls in three different age categories – based on the junior’s age on 1st September 2011 – under 12s, under 14s and under 16s. Play will start at 9.30am on each day.

The entry fee for each player is £5 and the round robin format will ensure that all juniors will play a number of other players in their age category. There will be prizes for the winners, and CRB checked adult members will supervise the games at all times. The Club can provide racquets, but if juniors already have their own this is preferred.

• The closing date for entries is 23rd August 2011 and entry forms can be obtained from the Club’s junior organiser Pat Clelland on email: patclellandATwightcablenorth.net or by phoning her on mob: 07870 642267 or (01524) 31173
