The club will have the bar open serving hot and cold drinks and food throughout the day and coach Vinny Duddy said: Its a great day out for friends and family to come along and enjoy some great tennis and some coffee and cakes."

"I am very pleased with how the new 2-hour format of Vinny’s Minis was going at the club, which sees two sessions run from 6 to 7 for under 8’s and from 7 to 8 for over 8’s with some of the older children doing all 2 hours on a Friday evening."

He also wanted to thank Kay Haines, Sam Goodhew and Hans Hermann Beniscke for running and managing the bar and the social side of Friday evenings which were proving a huge success with families and other club members.
