Unfortunately, the 2024 Annual PICT Tennis Tournament was a washout – literally…. The Tournament was hit by the floods that affected large parts of Northamptonshire last September.
It had been the Secretary’s intention to postpone this Tournament until April this year, but unfortunately the availability of the Club, where it is held, prevented this from happening. So, the 2024 event has been omitted, but it is now all go for the 2025 tournament.
The PICT Tennis Tournament will be taking place at the Northampton County Lawn Tennis Club, Church Way, Weston Favell NN3 3BX, on Thursday 19th September 2025.
Meet and greet with tea, coffee and biscuits will be at 9.15-10.00am. A pre-lunch round robin will then take place, followed by lunch at 1.00pm. The quarter and semi-finals of both the PICT Trophy and PICT Plate will then be played. Tea and cakes will be served as the finalists prepare to play. The presentations will be held in the bar, or outside if the weather is lovely, at around 6.30pm.
John has mentioned that if the demand is there, he is happy to switch the presentation to an evening dinner.
If you would like to join in and enrol for this year’s PICT Tennis Tournament, with or without a partner (we will find you one!), please send an e-mail to john.vic@paper.co.uk and remember you don’t have to be a budding Emma Raducanu or Novak Djokovic to play – just come along and enjoy yourself with fellow colleagues and friends and help raise much needed funds for PICT.
