PEOPLE living in Herefordshire have a chance to take advantage of the country's biggest annual sporting offer - the chance to play tennis for free!

Play Tennis 2003 is run by the Lawn Tennis Associa-tion and the campaign offers everyone, especially beginners, the opportunity to pick up a racquet and play. As part of the campaign Hereford Whitecross Club, Sollars Close, Whitecross, is throwing open its doors on Saturday, May 31.

The offer is open to players of all ages and abilities and youngsters are particularly welcome.

Anyone interested in playing can either contact Hereford Whitecross Club on Hereford 276389 or visit the website http:/www.LTA.org.uk/playtennis.
