Wendy asked for no
flowers but instead asked all to support three charities, Marie Curie,
Crossroads (Folkestone) and the Ashford hospice. These charities provided
outstanding support services, despite fighting fires all over Kent.

very much appreciate it if you gave to one or more of the charities below.

charities (just click on them and you will be taken to a donation page).

Why become a coach?
I had been coaching a young girl for some years and some time ago predicted that with her
natural talent, if she kept at it could be playing for
Kent or even England. One
summer she, (along with 3 other
young girls)
won the Kent Ladies Fours and got to the ¼ finals of the
National Fours against senior, much older players. To say I am
pleased for her is a gross understatement! |
