Stowmarket Tennis Club

A small fundraising event for Sport Relief held recently at Stowmarket Tennis Club just grew and grew and eventually raised over £800. Two young men, Tom Darling and Craig Dawson managed to play a full 24-hours of tennis while the rest of the club opted to pay and play in hour long sessions over a 24 hour period. Eventually over 50 members got involved and the event was finished in style with Josh Bolt and Oliver Whiting (Both high ranking Suffolk Mens’ players) taking on club member Gustavo Huss of Argentina and our club coach Chris Cunningham in a highly entertaining and exciting match. The winners on this occasion were Josh and Oliver but everyone is hoping to see a re-match sometime in the near future.
Our fun evening ended with a mobile Curry Van coming to Stowmarket Tennis Club and cooking a good selection of mild and seriously hot curries which were enjoyed by all players, spectators and guests.
