ANYONE FOR (DEAF!) TENNIS? – 19.03.09

Hi all,
My little brother Dan has taken over the grand duty of finding the best young deaf tennis players in his part of the country to train them up and help keep a strong deaf tennis team in Britain. He’s holding trials for young deaf people from 8yrs to 16yrs in Bristol on May 9th

Thing is, it aint easy trying to get the message out to young deaf people, so if you know anyone, or anyone who might know anyone, get them to e-mail Dan at:
danbentun@hotmail.com
He’ll then send out additional info to apply.

A message from Dan the Man below!
Thanks, love KT x

INTRODUCTION
This is a special day to introduce deaf tennis to as many deaf children as possible. If it is a successful day then it could be developed further in the future. It will be organised by me, Daniel Tunstall, CCA, a qualified tennis coach and member of the British Deaf Tennis Team. Since I was 12 years old, I have travelled all over the world playing for the National team. I have also played at the Deaflympics Games in Copenhagen, Rome and Melbourne. I am hoping to be picked for the team going to the next Deaflympics in August ’09 in Taipei, Taiwan. Deaf Tennis has added greatly to my life and I am keen to introduce the sport to as many deaf children as I can. I will be assisted by Sydney Falconer, also a member of the present British Deaf Tennis Team.
If you know of any individuals, charities or other organisations who can either help get the message out to young deaf people, or assist with sponsorship for this event I would be very pleased if you would let me know.

Dan Tunstall
