A big “Thank You” to all the clubs – Castletown, Douglas, Port Erin, Ramsey and Albany for their donations to the Friends of Children orfChernobyl appeal. The final figure was ?345. The children who handed over the money to Norman & Joan Rivers looked very smart in their Albany Auxesia shirts and we do still have some for sale at a subsidised price of ?10 and are available at the club on Saturdays from 12 – 3pm.

The Annual General Meeting of the Isle of Man LTA will take place on Monday 27 June 2016 at the Douglas Lawn Tennis Club starting at 6.00pm.
