Newhaven has appealed to local people to support their role in the LTA's Play Tennis Initiative.

The club will give over its facilities for free to those who wish to attend on May 5 and 6, both days starting at 10am.

Newhaven's Bob Jackson said: "It has gone well in previous years. It's a great opportunity for the people of Newhaven and its surrounding area to pick up a racquet and have a go.

"All the equipment can be borrowed and I hope it will inspire a lot of new people, especially youngsters, to take advantage of a free."

There will be sessions for tiny tots, children and adult starters, competnent hitters and families on the first day as well as fun games and racquet skills lessons.

Those attending the following day can take advantage of starter tennis for all ages, a bal-throwing machine, radar speed gun, free use of courts for competent players and a further family-have-a-go.
