This was a free event that took place from 10.00 till 15:00 at South Hanningfield Tennis Club Place, Recreational Ground, Ramsden Heath, Billericay.
Their challenge to the public was to use a tennis racket and hit as many targets with a tennis ball in three attempts. The event was designed to introduce and encourage people to experience tennis in a fun environment based on challenges designed for all standards and ages from 4yrs and upwards. There was also a DJ, BBQ, refreshments, entertainment and some challenging tennis related tasks for the whole family to enjoy. (from young children to grand parents).
