On Saturday 24th June 1-3pm there will be a free and fun event for women and girls at Kings Lawn Tennis Club in Bishopston.

The ‘Are You Game’ event is to provide an opportunity for women and girls to have fun and get involved in some tennis and other sporty activities.

All women and girls are welcome to come along, whatever their age and tennis skills or ability; complete beginners to tennis are welcome and there will also be plenty of activities for people who are already involved with sport and fitness.

The event has been timed to be part of National Women in Sport Week which sees a host of international women’s sporting events taking place across the UK.

Kings Lawn Tennis Club is also part of the new Judy Murray SheRallies Campaign which aims to get more women and girls involved in tennis, plus the club is also taking part in the Bristol City of Sport Are You Game? campaign.
