This year Landmark Planning are sponsoring the Carisbrooke Tennis Club of Leicester team in the National Club League.
This is the premier team event for tennis clubs in the U.K. where the best compete in 6 regions, before a grand final weekend 8th to 10th September, this year in Bournemouth. It is the top 8 teams in the country that then reach the national finals. Carisbrooke have made the national finals in three of the last five years, finishing between 4th and 6th each time. With Landmark’s sponsorship the team will be hoping to go even further; recognising that securing a top two slot will be difficult, as the London teams attract top 100 in the world players in the singles and top 10 in doubles.
Leicester’s region encompasses the whole Midlands from Lincoln, as far as Cardiff (who have a very strong team).
In the meantime, the first home match is Sunday 2nd April at 1pm against Warwick, who are no muppets. The team will need a good performance for victory. The high quality of the tennis matches the standard of the outside courts at Wimbledon, but can be watched for free, at Carisbrooke Tennis Club on Carisbrooke Road, Leicester (access from Kenwood Road). Food and entertainment will be laid on. This is a wonderful opportunity to watch professional tennis close up at no cost.

This is our coach, Jack Simpson ‘modelling’ the club’s new kit.
As Jack says: ‘we are going to give this national championship a real good go this year and try and achieve our best ever performance against all the best clubs in the country.’
Jack is wearing a very good quality ‘Yonex’ shirt with the club’s logo front and back.
Team shirts are available for £15 until June 30th. After then the price will
be at cost: £20. This will also be the price if you want a second one. They are available in three sizes: medium, large and extra large, order via Landmark Planning (0116 2856110) or email Sam: sc@landmarkplanning.co.uk.
Watch this space for updates on how the team progresses.
