JOHN BERCOW IS NEW BUCKINGHAM TENNIS CLUB PRESIDENT
Local MP and Speaker John Bercow took part in an exciting exhibition match as a prelude to becoming the new Honorary President of Buckingham Tennis Club. Dubbed âThe Champ Versus The Speaker Matchâ, John won a ferociously fought battle against 2014 Buckingham Menâs Club Champion, 18 year-old Max Heaton, last Friday evening. This was followed by the Clubâs AGM, where John was introduced to club players, and committee members were voted in for the next 12 months. John recounted his playing days as a Junior Champion, and his continued love of the game today having recently published a book about the tennis greats, called
âTennis Maestros: the twenty greatest male tennis players of all timeâ. John said, âIâm delighted to have been asked to become the new President and really look forward to coming down and playing on the club nights when Parliament is in recessâ. Buckingham Tennis Club always welcomes new members, and plays throughout the Winter months with club sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30pm onwards, and Sunday afternoons from 1.30pm onwards, on the courts in Chandos Park.
