On Friday 28 April Henfield Tennis Club officially reopened their Pavilion following flooding in February 2021. The opportunity had also been taken to install full length windows making the club lighter and brighter; to future proof the timber walls; to improve drainage; and to generally modernise.
The celebrations started with a fun tennis doubles tournament involving both club members and guests, followed by the formal Pavilion Opening Ceremony. The Club Chair, Wendy Whittaker, thanked all involved in the project particularly former club Chair and Project Manager Martin Tooth and local contractors Nigel and Adam Parsons. Other guests included Parish Councillors (Mike Morgan and Gill Perry) and representatives from the Football Club, Youth Clubs and the Leisure Centre. Mike cut the ribbon and the party commenced! A relaxed and enjoyable evening followed with scrumptious canapes and raffle prizes donated by enthusiastic club members.
