SUMMER HOLIDAY CAMPS COMPLETED ☑️

Thanks so much for supporting the Holiday Camps this year!

As always, it’s been lovely to see so many kids playing outdoors and making new friends.

The staff & helpers have all been amazing, thanks a million for all your efforts and hard work!

The kids attending have been so kind and caring towards each other. The look of pure joy on their faces as they charge around during the waterfights has been the highlight for sure!

I can’t remember a better summer for sunshine either - It really has been our best set of Holiday Camps ever!

Next up for the Camps is the Tuesday & Wednesday of October Half-term

Tennis Coaching for all Ages & Abilities starts back w/c 1st September - send us a message if you’d like to get involved. Full details on MakingAces.co.uk

Thanks again for being part of Making Aces this summer!

Best wishes
Barney, George, Will & the Gang
