Congratulations to Cranbrook Castle Tennis club in Ilford who have celebrated their 100 year centenary!
Cranbrook Castle Lawn Tennis and Social Club turned 100 on May 7 this year, but Covid-related disruption meant it was unable to celebrate the occasion until Sunday, September 5.
Roughly 100 members gathered at the courts on Pavilion Road to play tennis, listen to speeches and enjoy a slice of cake.

“It’s a great achievement,” said club president Alan Chapman.
“Lots of other clubs in Ilford have gone by the wayside. We feel very proud of reaching that milestone.”
