19th – 20th June 2021, from midday until midday
The 24 Hour Tennis Marathon is back!
Once again we will be taking to the court for 24 hours of non-stop tennis action, all in the name of raising much-needed funds for three causes. Alongside the tennis club itself, the principal beneficiary this year will be the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
You can get involved in various ways – from picking up a racket and playing your part on court, to sponsoring someone else to do the hard work for you or by buying a cake or refreshments from the Friends of Bubwith School stall (proceeds from these sales will go directly to FOBS).
Book yourself onto a court and then download a sponsorship form using the buttons below. Please note that there is a minimum amount of £10 per person per hour required (£5 for under 18s) – though obviously we’d be delighted if you raised more!
It’s not just for members of Bubwith Tennis Club
We want everyone to get involved; non-members are welcome as are local families, members of other local tennis clubs – anybody who wants to have some fun whilst supporting three good causes.
But that’s not all – there will be a lot going on (on and off the courts):
- Suitably Sporty (ladies and girls’ tennis clothing) – Saturday between noon and 5pm
- A BBQ from Anna’s Happy Trotters to mark the start and the end of the event
- Ice cream from The Groovy Moo available on both days
- Junior Coaching by I Can Play Tennis from 1pm-3pm on Saturday
- Raffle – tickets (£5 each) are available from The Jug & Bottle or by contacting the club (either by email or by messenger) – see below for prize details
