Starbeck Tennis Club holds fun day

Starbeck Tennis Club is staging a fun day this weekend to celebrate its 65th anniversary.

A vintage tennis tournament, live music, barbecue and bouncy castle are among the planned activities.

The club, which has three all-weather artificial grass courts on Bogs Lane, offers competitive match tennis in the Harrogate and York tennis leagues as well as friendly tennis.

Founded in 1957, it currently has about 100 members.

Club secretary Abbé Steele said:

“We are a really social club and often get around 20 members on our weekly mix-in nights where anyone can come along of all standards and play.

“We are in desperate need of a clubhouse face lift so the money raised on the day will be going towards this.”

Everyone is welcome to attend Sunday’s event, which lasts from noon until 5pm and includes a tournament using vintage tennis rackets.
