~ A Place in the Sun? (03/05/08)
Which one will you go for - Sanchez-Casals or Heron Tennis?
Barcelona this year, or Cornwall next? Or both? Read on...

Schools tournament schedules prevented us from repeating this June last year’s April trip to the Sanchez-Casals tennis academy, but we now have the option of a five-day clay-court training visit over the October half-term, flying out on Sunday 26 October and returning the following Saturday. We would rent a flat or flats for children in the ‘95-’97 age-range (we would need parent-supervisors to look after them!), while the Academy has suggested that parents may prefer younger children (‘98-’99s) to stay in the hotel within walking distance of the centre.
Last year the trip cost about £650. Inflation and the dearer euro are likely to push this up, and we are still checking out the figures, but it would be helpful to know how many people would be interested in principle. The EasyJet flights to Barcelona are at present available up to 28 Sept, which suggests that the October flights will be on the website quite soon. Please let Hélène if you think you might participate in the Sanchez-Casals trip.

We have had very good reports of the annual May half-term Grade 4 Junior Tournament at Heron Tennis, near Newquay, and thought that some West Heath families might like to combine a family break in Cornwall with the 2009 tournament. At least two of our coaches are keen to go, and we would try to arrange for them to work with the children during the week. Hélène is in touch with the organisers and will be meeting them in July. There is plenty of accommodation in the area (eg check out farmhouses near Newquay on Google etc) but it is the May half-term and early booking is advisable. Still plenty of time till next year’s tournament, but again do please speak to Hélène if you like the idea.
