Joanna was a much-loved member and employee of the club who died earlier this year.

Ginny Lee, a lead volunteer for both events,said: "It was fantastic to see so many people come to both events from ages young and old, from beginners to advanced players, altogether enjoying the sport and the friendly club community we have, while helping raise money for such a worthy charity."
