Once again Julian organised the Spring Tournament at the Club. The weather on Sunday was fine and we were able to get some good photos to mark the occasion!

To book your place please contact Julian by email julian@tgtc.net or phone on 01695 579206 (you might have to leave a message).
Look forward to seeing you on the 5th !

The first Saturday Junior coaching morning of the new season got off to a great start with blue skies and fine weather.
