BUDE Tennis Club is the latest of the thirteen Cornish Tennis Clubs to receive Clubmark accreditation. Clubmark is a Sport England initiative which recognises and supports clubs which follow the policies laid down for their club programmes, on and off court.

The Lawn Tennis Association representative, Georgina Loosemore, recently presented the award to Club Chairman Gary Bickle and Club Coach, Rachael Stacey. In her speech Georgina said, " I am delighted to award Clubmark to Bude Tennis Club, it is a superb achievement reflecting the hard work of the Committee and coaching team. Bude Tennis Club has much to offer and I recommend people of all ages and standards to come and visit the Club and get playing."
