Welcome to the July issue of
Ackworth Arrow Hey, summer’s here!
Hands up who is looking forward to summer? The weather in June was lovely and the light nights are such a treat. As many of us remain in this country for our summer break, I hope the sun continues to shine.. The new date of 19th July for the lifting of restrictions may have delayed some community groups from getting back to normal, hopefully, we should be in a position to meet again safely by September. If you want to share your groups information in the August issue, please let me know.
Radiators, Leaks, Blockages, Outside Taps, General Plumbing
The deadline for the August issue is Wednesday 14th July. The August issue will be distributed the last full weekend in July. Michelle Sidebottom

TENNIS ROYALTY VISITED ACKWORTH SCHOOL IN MAY AS FORMER BRITISH NUMBER ONE TIM HENMAN JOINED PUPILS TO CELEBRATE A SUCCESSFUL LOCAL PROJECT AIMED AT GETTING MORE YOUNG PEOPLE INVOLVED IN TENNIS AND LAUNCH HIS FOUNDATION’S NEW FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN. The par cipa on project, jointly funded by the Tim Henman Founda on and Ackworth School, in partnership with the LTA, the na onal governing body for tennis in Great Britain, has helped local coach Alice Robson bring tennis to nearly 2,000 pupils at 28 local primary schools, as well as to generate nearly 200 new members to Ackworth Tennis Club.
During the visit, Alice, who was named Development Coach of the Year at last year’s LTA Tennis Awards, delivered coaching alongside the visi ng primary school teachers to nearly 100 children at the school together with Henman himself, who was on hand to share his experiences from a 15‐year playing career which saw him reach six Grand Slam semi‐finals and win 15 ATP career tles.
Tim Henman said: “I am delighted to be at Ackworth today and see more young tennis stars coming through the pipeline. Talent is spread evenly across the country but sadly opportunity is not, which is why this Founda on ini a ve in associa on with the LTA, Ackworth School and Ackworth Tennis Club is so important.”
As we emerge from the COVID‐19 pandemic, children need these chances more desperately than ever.
“Some of us are lucky enough to remember the moment we found our spark and the people who inspired us, in my case through the tennis scholarship I was granted aged nine. By dona ng to the #FindingYourSpark you can give more special, life‐defining moments to more of our most vulnerable children.”
Anton Maree, Head of Ackworth School said: “Introducing ac vi es to children to which they do not normally have access has to take place at their convenience. We work with our partner schools at their schools with the facili es they have at their disposal. This approach allows us to reach a significant number of children and we help them to find their spark!”
