A Message from Miss Bell – Event Organiser.

I’m delighted to let you know that the annual Family Fun Tennis Open will take place on Saturday, 27 June at Rendcomb College.
We’ll be serving pre‑match refreshments from 10.00am, with the first matches getting underway promptly at 10.30am.

This year, we’re very pleased to open the tournament to Old Rendcombians, which means spaces will be even more limited than usual. Those of you who have taken part over the past six years will know that the event caters for all abilities and is played entirely as doubles, using a relaxed round‑robin format.

I had always hoped this event would become a permanent fixture in the Rendcomb calendar, as it has been such a wonderful way to bring parents, students, and the wider school community together to enjoy Rendcomb College. It has been a great source of pride for me personally, and everyone involved has always gone the extra mile to make it such a special day.

This year, we’d love you to bring along your own refreshments, food, and anything else you need to make the most of a fantastic day celebrating our students, the school community, and the beautiful, storied haven that is Rendcomb College.

If you would like to play, or if you’re planning to come along simply to celebrate Rendcomb College, please complete and return the form by Monday, 1 June.

I very much hope you can join us.
