Road To Wimbledon 2019 County Finals weekend of 13/14 July 2019 Very many congratulations to both Hugo Dighe and Robyn Went who represented the Club at the County Finals of the Road to Wimbledon competition. Both of them did extremely well. Hugo came 3rd and Robyn came 2nd. Well done to both of them. It is to be remembered that both are young in the competition and both will have further opportunites in years to come to win the spot to play on the courts at Wimbledon.

Raising Money for the Prince’s Trust
This year, Emily took on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to help raise money for the Prince’s Trust, a charity which helps disadvantaged young people. Alongside her willing hiking fanatics, they completed the 23 mile route and 5,249ft climb in under 12 hours! To help with their fund-raising efforts, Beaconsfield Tennis Club hosted a sponsored raffle on the evening of Thursday 12th April, courtesy of Godwin and Jackie. Together we raised £115 which is a fantastic effort, and brings our running total moneys raised to £524. All funds were donated online to the Prince’s Trust here: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action? userUrl=5gohillwalking Thank you to everyone for buying tickets and donating prizes, and a special thanks to Godwin and Jackie for organising the tennis, cheese and wine! |
Wimbledon Tickets Draw
The draw for this year's allocation of Wimbledon tickets will take place at 9pm on Thursday May 10th (after the 7- 9pm club session and during the popular cheese and wine). All full, adult members who are also members of British Tennis will automatically be entered into the draw. It would be great to see a big turn out on the evening. Godwin and members of the committee will also be there to answer questions you may have about the club and the coming tennis season. The club receives an annual allocation of Wimbledon tickets through its affiliation with the LTA. These tickets are allocated to members through a ballot, with all members who are signed up British Tennis members automatically entered. A small number of tickets (4) will be allocated to volunteers at Godwin's discretion (not to include committee members). If you have been successful in the ballot, payment for the tickets is required within 5 days of notification (so don't forget your check book). After 5 days, the tickets will be put back in to the ballot. |
Chengelo school in Zambia - Charity tournament
 On Sept 25th a number of BTC members took part in a charity tournament to raise money for the Chengelo school in Zambia. The initial rounds were played on 4 courts at various homes around the town and the semis and final were then played at Robin and Flora Pedler's court on Grove Road. The tournament was eventually won by our members Kristian Merritt and Jackie Martin and an enjoyable day was topped off with a tasty barbecue. Many thanks to all those who took part and everyone who helped out with the organisation. |

BTC's Road To Wimbledon Champions...
CONGRATULATIONS  To Will Taylor and Anna Carter Roberts for winning the Club stage of the HSBC Road to Wimbledon National 14 and under Challenge 2011. The HSBC Road To Wimbledon 14 & Under National Challenge, now in its tenth year, is the largest junior lawn tennis event in the UK. This year there were 29 boys and 22 girls in the draws, a club record. For many it was their first experience of competitive play and we hope that each and every player enjoyed their matches. The boys final was battled between Will Taylor and Andrew Burnett, Will winning through 2-4,4-2 and 10-6 in the championship tie break. The girls final, played in the rain was between doubles partners, Anna Carter-Roberts and Alex Crowther. They played well in the conditions, Anna coming through 4-1, 5-3. Anna will now represent the Club at the County Finals on the weekend of the 18/19 June at the Bucks Indoor Centre in High Wycombe. Neither Will or Andrew are able to attend as they are away on a school trip so Elliott Hudson has been invited to play. The winners of the County finals qualify for the National Finals, held on the grass courts of the All England Club Wimbledon on 15-20 August 2011. We wish Elliott and Anna all the best during the County Finals. Written by Jane Doyle |
