Last year West Heath sent a group of players with coaches John and Martin to the Newquay Grade 3 Tournament, and all agreed that it was a very worthwhile and enjoyable experience. The Tournament caters for all junior levels - Tennis, Mini-Green, Orange and Red - and offers excellent facilities: 8 outdoor courts, two more under a bubble, a great clubhouse with restaurant/snackbar, good viewing including a first-floor balcony, adjacent parking, and all the attractions of Cornwall within reach, not to mention a nearby Zoo. Altogether, very child and parent-friendly! We have some information on accommodation (including a Holiday Park with indoor and outdoor pools!), but it is also easy to find short-term lets through Google.

This year the Tournament runs from Sun 30 May to Fri 4 June, and we shall again be sending a group to it. It would be very helpful to know how many families are thinking of going, so that we can plan how many coaches will be needed. If you are interested please contact Hélčne - who, as last year, will be at the Tournament herself.
