IAN Howard ran another successful mixed doubles tournament at the Avenue Tennis Club last weekend. 

This monthly social tournament is normally run on the second Sunday of each month, but took place early this month, as the club’s Centenary Open Tournament starts next Sunday, August 12.

The tournament continued with the successful format that ensures that everyone gets to play with a different partner, allowing people to play with and against new players. 

This month’s winners were Wendy Pryce and Steve Smith.

As mentioned above, this year sees the club running the Centenary Burnham-on-Sea Tennis Open, the LTA Grade 3 tournament for all juniors and adults running daily from August 12 until finals day on Saturday, August 18.

During the week there is some fantastic tennis to watch, hot and cold foods served throughout the day, and entry to watch is free.

The club has organised social tennis throughout the week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, together with a variety of subsidised coaching sessions for juniors and adults.
