Show Notes
Steve is joined by Spiro Espositos, secretary of the Maidstone Tennis Club. Spiro was part of the delivery of Tennis Australia’s Get Your Racquet On campaign, prior to the interruption of COVID19. The Get Your Racquet On campaign was designed to bring people back to the sport of tennis by encouraging them to book an Open Court Session, a social activity that just happens to involve… tennis!

- Recognising the need for social participation options and introductory formats to compliment the competitive options.
