Civic Reception 6th November 2017

Invitation to our Aegon Pro Series $25K Womens Tennis Tournament Civic Reception

We would like to invite you to our Civic Reception to welcome some of Europe’s top tennis players on Monday 6th November at 6:30pm at The Shrewsbury Club.

The players are here for the Aegon Pro Series Ladies $25k ITF tournament in association with Morris & Co Homes which is one of the biggest sporting events to be held in Shropshire. 

Our Civic Reception is designed to welcome the players, coaches and officials and also to bring together the local business community and our members at The Shrewsbury Club to celebrate the event.

We believe that this tournament is a valuable asset to the town bringing around 300 people from all over UK and Europe to Shrewsbury. The spin off benefits to accommodation, restaurants and attractions is significant. In addition the town gets profiled through the media coverage and the matches are promoted around the world by the International Tennis Federation so the marketing benefits to local tourism is also high. 

Drinks and canapés will be available free of charge and the evening will be attended by numerous civic officers and business leaders. It will run from 6:30pm , and will include the draw for the first round of the tournament, the revealing of the nominations by Tennis Shropshire for their 2017 Aegon Tennis Awards and business networking opportunities in conjunction with Tweet Up Shrewsbury.

There will also be the chance to see The Shrewsbury Club’s £1.25m refurbishment programme first hand. With two of the three phases being completed by the 30th October 2017 you will get a sense of the transformation the Club has been through.

The Aegon Pro Series runs from 5th –11th   November with the first round of the main draw starting Tuesday 7th. The event is played on the indoor courts at the Shrewsbury Club on Sundorne Road and spectators are welcome throughout the week, free of charge. The tournament final, which is played at 1:30pm on Saturday 11th, is expected to attract over 500 spectators and is also free of charge.
