Notton Tennis Club has a Centenarian
August 2019
In August last year we wrote about our member Tom Hicks and his fame as the Oldest Tennis Player in the UK (opens a new window).
The most important event on our calendar this year has been that Tom, a founder member of our club, was 100 years old this month.
We celebrated last week with a BBQ at the side of the courts. The weather was not kind to us but nevertheless it was enjoyed by Tom’s friends and co-members. Tom decided to stop playing tennis only three weeks ago and we will all miss him.
Here's Tom celebrating his special day with a suitably sized birthday cake
And here are some of the Notton Tennis Club members with whom Tom shared his day ...
and presumably his cake!
