UKRAINE APPEAL - A Day of Fundraising for the People of Ukraine

Shotley & Benfieldside Tennis Club is dedicating Sunday 3rd April to an all-day fundraising event in aid of the people of Ukraine. Supporting the day’s activities are Newcastle legend Bob Moncur and BBC Look North’s Jeff Brown, who will also be demonstrating their tennis skills on court.

The day kicks off at 9.00am with a Junior Tournament showcasing the brilliant young players at the Club now making their mark on our County teams at all ages. From 11.00am we have an American Doubles Tournament - friendly mixed tennis running until 5.00pm featuring Jeff Brown in the morning rounds and Bob Moncur in the latter stages. Jeff Brown will be awarding the Junior trophies around 11.00am, with Bob Moncur handling the Doubles awards from 5.00pm.

Available now through to all day Sunday are raffle tickets for a super prize draw including a Lake District spa getaway at Armathwaite Hall, meal vouchers at Sale Pepe and Isabella’s, hairdressing voucher at No 1 and multiple hampers of drinks, chocs, Easter Eggs and other great gifts. Message us on Facebook if you want to buy tickets - £2.00 each = £10.00 a strip.

The Club bar and the wonderful Cafe Advantage will be open to cater to your needs, with both donating takings to the Appeal. Please note car parking is very limited on site so please walk if possible, if not please park away from the Club and Benfield Close - use Benfieldside Road.
