A taste of tennis in Boston Manor Park

The Friends of Boston Manor continue to make a difference in Boston Manor Park and have gained some funding to organise free tennis lessons to young persons (9 - 11 year olds , male or female) who would not normally have the opportunity to receive professional training.  The project will run during the half term holidays (last week of October) on a first come first serve basis.  If you know of someone who you think will benefit from this fully supervised project and would like to recommend them then please express your interest via the website www.fobm.org.uk

Linda - I take it 'disadvantaged' doesn't mean having a parent too mean to put his hand in his pocket to pay for coaching but who would jump at the chance of a freebie?

Crudely may I put - "disadvantaged" by not having the income to spare, or "disadvantaged by not having the support to believe that all should have the same opportunity and that tennis is not an elitist sport.    At the end of the day here is a chance, during school vacation time for young people to be involved in structed tuition.  Any names that you can put forward will be considered without bias and on their merit.

Linda, how are you defining "would not normally have the opportunity to receive professional training"?
