Lovely News! Belvoir Fruit Farms Sponsor Grantham Junior Open for 2011...
The junior tournament committee were pleased to announce that this years event was spons 
ored by Belvoir Fruit Farms. Cool summer drinks and tennis fit very well together and it was very exciting to be involved with such a successful local firm. Especially this year that saw the tournament achieve the Grade 3 status it has been working towards. The Belvoir Fruit Farms stall with free samples went down very well with competitors and parents alike. Hopefully Grantham Tennis Club can continue the bond with the lovely Belvoir Fruit Farms in the future!
