A 'tennisathon' held by Northaw & Cuffley Lawn Tennis Club raised £2,064 for Red Nose Day.

The club members spent 24-hours from 6pm onwards on Friday (March 17) taking turns to play tennis in an attempt to raise the money in a fun way.

Those who wished to join the event paid a fee that went towards the Comic Relief fundraiser.
