Dear Members, Thank you for all your generous donations. Your donations have made a huge difference to the people in Direct Provision in the Esplanade Hotel.

We may run another appeal coming up to Christmas 2020. Thank you The General Committee

Dear Members, We are sure you are aware Bray now has a direct provision centre in the Esplanade Hotel on the seafront. Direct provision has been widely criticised in society for the way Asylum Seekers are left in limbo for years on-end in inappropriate accommodation unable to get on with their lives after experiencing in most cases harrowing ordeals fleeing their own countries then travelling long dangerous journeys to get here, one third of those in Direct Provision are children. Food and accommodation is provided by the state and a weekly allowance of €38.80 per adult & €29.80 per child.…

Dear Members We are pleased to inform you that the 2020 Club Championships will go ahead this year from the 12th to the 26th September.

However despite this the tennis will continue and all levels will have an opportunity to play some competitive matches. We are looking forward to seeing all of our new and old members taking part, as the Championships are suitable for all players. We have graded events to ensure that…

Unfortunately, due to the government’s announcement yesterday, it cannot go ahead as we had planned. We will not be able to open the bar OR supply food OR allow spectators on the grounds. We simply do not have the capabilities to control 15 non-playing people on the grounds…
