A large contingent from EATSC went to watch the rain and support Derek when he collected the LTA Central/East Regional Disability award at the Nottingham Nature Valley Open on 11th June. The presentations were the highlight of the day for the few hardy souls who went there as no-one saw a tennis ball hit. Derek received the regional trophy from Iain Bates, LTA Head of Women’s Tennis, supported by Cathie Sabin, Past President of the LTA. We wish EATSC all the best for National awards on 2nd July, where they are one of three nominations for the National Winners in the Disability category. Matt Breese, winner of the Regional Official of the Year Award will collect his trophy elsewhere.
