Half-price rackets – thanks to the Railroad Club
Thanks to the generosity of Railroad Club members we have now been able to allocate a first set of seven subsidised rackets.
The recipients – whose applications were vetted by Andrew and Craig to make sure we make the best use of the money – covered a range of players.
At the top end, Benedict Yorston, who signed off his Oxford tennis career with the clinching win in the final rubber of the day to swing the Varsity Match for Oxford, gets a Gray’s ExtraTec. His response? “A great initiative – and I’ll definitely be joining the Railroad Club myself.”
Beau Swallow – another joiner-to-be – said just the same. “It’s a fantastic initiative”. He’s pictured here on the Merton Court with another recipient, George Halblander- Smyth.
Also receiving a racket was Inga Williams, a mature student, who took advantage of a rare moment of Oxford sunshine to pose for Andrew.
