PERSHORE Tennis Centre is throwing open its doors for free on Saturday as part of Play Tennis 2002, the UK's biggest participation event.

It doesn't matter how old you are or how you play, go and give it a try at Pershore College from 10-11.30am or 12 noon-2pm. Free coaching is on offer and all equipment will be provided.

Julie Johnson, junior organiser, said: "The day is about showing people that Pershore is a welcoming and friendly club. We hope that many of the participants will want to become long-term members."
