LITTLE Clacton Tennis Club are now up and running after the development of their four new floodlit courts.

New coach Chris Harris is excited about the potential for more tennis for the community and will be holding a free open morning for youngsters aged five to 16.

It will take place on Saturday, July 15 from 10am to 1pm, at the Bill Ford Sports Ground in Holland Road, Little Clacton.

"The area now has a wonderful new facility for learning and playing tennis," said Harris.

"I will be working hard to encourage as many young players as possible to play the game I love.

"I'm sure everyone will be inspired by watching Wimbledon, so why not come along and give it a go?"

Harris, formerly head coach at Frinton Lawn Tennis Club, has over 25 years' experience teaching all ages and abilities and will bring his enthusiasm to the Little Clacton site.
