Speaker - Geraint Richards of the International Tennis Federation

Our speaker at breakfast this morning was Geraint Richards, now the Head of Disability Player Performance for the Tennis Foundation, but at one time coach to the Lisvane Tennis Club..  His talk ranged from the benefits of wheelchair tennis for the "ordinary" person, such as Cameron from Tredegar seen in the picture, to the preparations being made by the British wheelchair tennis team for the Rio Olympics.  He particularly talked about the Sao Caetano project near Sao Paulo in Brazil, where a venture to set up wheelchair tennis has been helped by a previous donation from the club.
