Foundation Prize Draw at the Annual Padel and Tennis Dinner

Monday 13 October

The Annual Padel and Tennis Dinner was a resounding success, drawing a fantastic crowd from both communities.

After some relaxed mingling and a warm welcome, guests took their seats to enjoy a delicious meal together.

Throughout the evening, attendees had the chance to take part in the Foundation Prize Draw, featuring some incredible prizes -  including dinner with champagne reception at Serra in the luxurious Chancery Rosewood Hotel and a meal for two at the Hurlingham Club’s new Brasserie 1869. The draw created a real buzz in the room and raised just shy of £1,500 — an amazing result. Whoop whoop!

A highlight of the evening was the inspiring Q&A session with Olympic gold medal-winning hockey player Sophie Bray. Her reflections on competing at the highest level, giving 100%, and life in the Olympic Village left everyone feeling both motivated and uplifted.

Once the prize draw winners were announced (huge congratulations to all!), the evening took a more playful turn. The table tennis and cornhole stations were hugely popular, sparking some spirited, good-natured competition.

All in all, it was a fantastic evening filled with great food, lively conversation, and a wonderful sense of community. A heartfelt and sincere thank you to everyone who came along - your generosity and support throughout the evening made a real difference, and we’re incredibly grateful.
