Bridlington Lawn Tennis Club event nets £455 for Children with Cancer UK

Forty people turned up on Sunday to play tennis on a very windy day.

The event, organised by Paul and Jo, was a huge success as players came from Filey and Scarborough and Hackness to play in the event along with a lot of Bridlington members.

Paul said: “To raise £455 in four hours on Wimbledon finals day ,which did stop some players coming was amazing and we are so pleased with everyone's generosity to supporting the event and raising money for Children with Cancer UK.

"I will try and remember to book the event next year on a different weekend to finals weekend at Wimbledon, w we might get a few more players!

“A special mention to Lloyd Dowsons and ITsports and everyone who donated raffle prizes.”
