We’d like to invite you to be involved in a ‘Pro Am’ event on Friday 21st August. The idea being that our club members will ‘blind bid’ to partner one of our Pro’s prior to the event. The proceeds go to a specialist deep brain tumour research program within the BTRC.
 
Play doubles with some of the finest players in the country!
 
You’ll be informed if you are the highest bidder upon receipt of your bid. If you are out bid, you will be notified to let you know. Bids close at midnight Monday 17th August.

FILM NIGHT:
 
Watch the hilarious Ben Stiller ‘The Dink’. PG-13
 
Please note: We have limited spaces for the film as we have to show it in the adult lounge due to its age rating!
