A LEIGH Tennis club recently marked a momentous anniversary with a day of community celebration.

 Leigh Road Baptist Church Tennis Club enjoyed a 75th anniversary celebratory cream tea event, highlighting the club’s rich history and bright future. 

 During the festivities, a commemorative cake was cut by the club’s oldest and youngest members, 89-year-old Paul Lewis and 13-year-old Amelia Higgs, symbolising the club’s intergenerational community spirit.

 Club Chairman Simon Joyce reflected on the occasion, and the inspiration it represents for continued success: “It was a very enjoyable afternoon as we reminisced about the past and celebrated the club’s formation 75 years ago. We look forward to the continued success of the club.”

 Located alongside Victory Path in Chalkwell, the club continues to develop, having recently installed floodlights on two of its three hard courts to extend playtime.

 The club welcomes players of all ages and abilities, offering weekly coaching sessions for young people aged 5 to 15.

 A spokesperson added: “The club’s commitment to fostering a love for tennis among people of all ages has been a cornerstone of its success, and it looks forward to many more years of community engagement and sporting excellence.”
