Junior Open Tournament 2008

The closing date for entry into this year's junior open event has now passed. The draw will take place on Wednesday evening (16th July). All participants will be notified soon after with the day and time of their first match. With over 100 entries and many entrants participating in more than one event we anticipate a bumper turnout. The grade 4 tournament will run from Monday 28th July through until Saturday 2nd August.
All outdoor courts are reserved for tournament matches from 9am - 6pm on each day of the event. Indoor courts will be used if the weather is unkind and so members are requested to call in on a daily basis to check availability. Use of the outdoor courts after 6pm will remain as the per the summer court schedule.
Hot and cold refreshments will be available throughout the day and a BBQ will be held on the terrace from 12 - 2pm.
The standard of tennis at this event is always high and you are invited to come along and support WLTC juniors along with other entrants from all corners of the UK & Europe in ages ranging from U11 to U21.
Eton Sports will be on site to do any re-stringing that may be required and will also have a range of tennis equipment & accessories for sale.
Thank you to our sponsors Linden Homes, The Sign Store & Eton Sports for providing funds for trophies, balls, prize money and officials.
