Beckenham Lawn Tennis CLUB

B eckenham Sports Club Celebrates its anniversary this year having provided 150 years of fantastic sport from its home at Foxgrove Road . The club shows no signs of slowing either with their tennis section continuing to provide the community with an opportunity to enjoy the game . Chairman James Buddell recently took the time to give us an insight into what it takes to create a vibrant , modern and well run sports club .

Involvement
He told us , “ I first started out with Beckenham when I was ten years old because my parents have a long association with the club . My first role was cleaning the squash courts which I did for eight years and my involvement has grown from there really .
I ’ ve been men ’ s captain and have run the various tournaments down here ; at one point or another I ’ ve been involved with pretty much everything you can do barring the social and finance Secretary roles . I ’ ve thoroughly enjoyed my involvement and being Chairman is a very demanding position but one that I am proud to carry out .”
