Portcullis Tennis Club will be hosting a Tennis-a-thon fundraiser for Dementia UK on Sunday 23rd July!

The aim is to have players out on court for 12 hours straight.

Here are all the ways you can get involved...

As a player:
Pop down and play at any time on 23rd July! Bring your friends and family along too, whether they are seasoned pros or complete beginners! There is no entry fee, but we do ask for a discretionary donation if you feel that you are able to give one - the whole point of the day is to raise some money for a fantastic cause! This can be in cash on the day, or via our JustGiving page (https://www.justgiving.com/page/portcullis-tennis-club-1689177482280?newPage=true).
If you can commit to a timeslot to play, please do sign up on this Google Sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KubIqgaGIQJklGUuirhLVAdFFo0ESIwr_rnEGc4oFcc/edit?usp=sharing), so that we can ensure we have all slots covered. However, if you find yourself free on the day and haven't signed up, you are still welcome to come along and play whenever!
From 10:00 - 11:30, we will have a few courts dedicated to playing some games for Juniors of all ages. Please do come down for some fun, and parents there will be tea/coffee and cakes to entertain you as well.
Then, from 11:30 - 13:00, we will have a few courts dedicated to Walking Tennis for existing players, or for anyone else who wants to give it a try!
There will be a men's A match happening from 13:00. You are still welcome to come down and play on other courts during this time, but please do be respectful of the match and keep noise and distractions to a minimum.
Other than that, the courts will be free for you to come down and play, and help us reach our 12 hour goal!

As a spectator:
We will have tea, coffee and cakes available throughout the day, so bring your friends and family down, cheer on our players and donate if you can!

If you aren't free on the day:
Even if you can't make it down on the day, we would welcome some sponsorship via the JustGiving (https://www.justgiving.com/page/portcullis-tennis-club-1689177482280?newPage=true) page.

If you want to know a bit more about the fantastic work we are supporting, please take a look the Dementia UK "shopping list" which shows what your donations can help to pay for.
