The 2012 Family Championships

I would like to draw your attention to the Family Championships which I organise and is now entering its sixth year of competition.

It is an annual event for Father & Sons and Mother & Daughters, split into three age groups, namely Open, 14&Under and 10&Under, as well as a Mixed event (Father & Daughter and Mother & Son), all played on a postal basis throughout the summer to establish finalists who then compete over a weekend during November at the David Lloyd Leisure Dudley complex.

Full details of the event, including rules, past reports, pictures and results, can be viewed on our dedicated website (www.familychampionships.org.uk) where an entry form can also be found.

The event itself has been successful amongst competitors who have participated and has helped to generate new friendships, as well as providing family partnerships with new opponents further afield from their usual stamping ground  while further cementing their relationships on court.

With thanks

Henry Wanck
