Debra Ireland Ladies’ Fundraiser
Thank you so much for all your help organising my fundraiser for Debra Ireland, and a big thanks to the club for allowing me to host it. We had a fantastic night, with 47 ladies playing tennis in the fine weather, sporting a Debra tattoo to show their support. Between the raffle, tennis fee and donations, we raised a whopping €1347 net for this worthy cause. All this will go straight to Debra Ireland, the national charity providing support services and to drive research into treatments and cures for those living with the genetic skin condition, epidermolysis bullosa (EB) Patients who have EB, have skin internally and externally that is as delicate and fragile as the wings of a butterfly, and just as easily damaged. I truly appreciate everyone’s support…
Congratulations
Congratulations to John Rendina on winning the over 35’s at the national Irish vets tournament. Also congratulations to our junior members Lucy Collins who won the girls singles u14 in Glasnevin on Sunday. James McGloughlin came as runner up in the boys u12 final at Glasnevin. Well done to all involved.

Ladies Summer Thursday Night Tennis
We hope to continue Thursday Night tennis for the summer on a casual basis. Cost will be just €2 per week, followed with cheese, crackers and a raffle. There will be no end of season prizes. However, in order for this to happen we need as many ladies as possible to volunteer to help arrange a week with another person (- we will link inexperienced people with an experienced person, so no excuses!!). Pls text your name and number to Sheera or Deirdre. Let me know if there any date you def can or can't do if appropriate. Sheera & Deirdre

Hi Ladies, I am running a fund-raising Tennis Night on Thursday May 31st at 8pm for Debra Ireland, a worthy cause supporting children with EB, an incurable and debilitating skin condition.

There will be a charge of 10 euro, with all profits going towards Debra Ireland, who provide care to parents and patients, and are endlessly working towards finding a cure for this awful disease. Your support will be greatly appreciated. There will be a prize for the highest point-scorer, with a participant's raffle as well. The usual cheese and nibbles will be provided.
