Cowes Tennis Sunday: Park Tennis Courts BBQ Supper (fundraiser)

14th September £10.00 - £25.00

Everyone is invited to come together on the evening of Sunday 14th September from 5pm for a delicious BBQ Supper evening to help raise funds for the Aitken Tennis Courts in  Northwood Park.

In a change to normal arrangements, this year the annual event is being generously hosted by our lead tennis court fundraiser Maria Moore, who is opening her house and garden for the event at 16 Castle Road, adjacent to Northwood Park.

The Aiken Courts are a popular community asset used by lots of local people. The mission of Northwood House Charitable Trust is to keep the courts as a “free to play” facility, but as a charity, we need help with the ongoing costs of maintaining the courts to a high playing standard.

Following the total refurbishment of the courts that was completed in 2020, the courts have become more popular than ever…so if you play regularly or just want to support the charity with its community-focused aims, this is your chance to help contribute by coming along and enjoying this special evening.

Just to clean the courts professionally each spring now costs over £1800 alone, with ongoing fees like insurance and other maintenance adding up to many hundreds of pounds over the year.

So join us for a very sociable evening at Maria’s House from 5pm until 9pm for a delicious late summer BBQ, prepared by Maria and a crew of local Cowes Community Tennis enthusiasts, all to raise funds towards the annual court maintenance costs. The evening will also feature some live music. Please arrive between 5pm and 5.30pm for the ease of managing food and drink.

Maria and the team will also be doing some fundraising on the evening with a tennis themed raffle, with prize donations gratefully received in advance.

Tickets are only £25 each for adults and £10 for children under 16 years old.

This is a great opportunity to donate to the charity’s efforts to keep the courts in the best shape possible and free to play, while having a great night out with friends.

Everyone is welcome (you definitely don’t have to play tennis to come along!), with tickets available to purchase online below or by phoning the Northwood House office on 01983 293642 between 10am and 2pm Mon-Thurs.

When booking tickets online please state for each one the persons if there are any eating preferences to be considered.Do this by ticking the box in the drop down menu.

If you have other dietary requirement (allergies etc), please specify on the next drop down box.

There is also the option to add an extra donation to assist with the funds in the ticket section below, with all extra donations being gratefully received.

Please note online ticket sales close on Friday 12th September at 12pm in order for food to be organised.
