On 21st October Martin ran The Great South Run to raise money for Portsmouth Downs Syndrome Association.
Thanks to your generous donations Martin raised over £300 to go to this very worthy cause.
The weather couldn't have been better and Martin set a respectable time of 1:21 to complete the 10 mile course.
Mark, Martin's friend (pictured above) is father to Jack who has Downs Syndrome and he was on the road side cheering on the guys all the way!

After months of waiting, the tennis courts at The Mountbatten School have now been resurfaced!
The new surface has already been put to test in the recent wet weather and it passed with flying colours!
Thanks to the clever robot and Mr Norton who took the areal shot!
After a delayed start earlier in the spring, The Mountbatten School's 3 grass, multi sports pitch is almost compete.
This 'state of the art' pitch will be used all year round for football & hockey clubs across, Romsey, Southampton, Totton & Eling, Winchester and local surrounding areas.
In the next 2-3 weeks the focus will be to the 6 tennis & netball courts of the school to be resurfaced with plans for completion at the start of November. This will be very welcome to us in time for the winter months where a new surface will help sessions to run despite in winter conditions.

Happy Birthday to Oscar Groves who turned 11 years old last Wednesday!
Oscar's parents decided to throw Oscar a tennis party at The Hilt in Hiltingbury, near Chandlers Ford. Many of Oscar's friends from school attended the party where we played various competitions including a doubles tournament.
The weather could not of been better which only added to the occasion. The boys played their hearts out and where rewarded with a tube of new tennis balls each at the end for their efforts.

Last week was the concluding week of this year's summer camp program by Absolute Tennis.
Thanks to all the kids and parents for their involvement over the week. We hope the kids had a blast and there is no question that they all improved their tennis skills.
A special thanks goes to Josh Gook & Alec Younger for there coaching expertise. Alec Younger (tennis assistant) gave his time up voluntary to gain experience in sports coaching. Thanks to Josh who visited us from his full time position at Virgin Active, Southampton where one day he decided to cycle to coaching in Romsey in the driving rain!
Below is a picture of Josh Gook (on the left) & Alec Younger (on the right) along with all the children who enjoyed playing tennis and multi sports in the sun!
This week Fraser and Martin coached children at Romsey Community School in this weeks summer tennis & multi sport camp. They were extremely lucky to have another week of dry weather and even some sun from time to time. Children visited the camp from Andover and Salisbury along with a few regulars from Braishfield which is a local village located just outside of Romsey.
Attendance was moderate this week which offered a great opportunity for the coaches to give each child more attention to their game. Each day the kids started their training by working on their fitness, followed by drills for stroke development, rallying competitions then match practice. On the last day the kids played a table tennis tournament for a bit of fun to conclude a great week.
The last week of summer camps starts on Tuesday next week (26th August) at Romsey Community School where Josh Gook from Virgin Active, Southampton will be joining the Absolute Tennis Team. Absolute Tennis will also be at De Vere Venues, New Place in the afternoons so let Martin Terrill know if you want your child to take up a place. « Back to all posts
