Congratulations to everyone who brought teams to the 14th National Learning Disability Tennis Event in Nottingham.
Jo from our Sport and Development Team said,
"It was a fantastic weekend with a very high standard of matches. It was lovely to see so many of our athletes enjoying themselves on and off the court, especially those fantastic outfits at the Halloween party on Saturday night!"

Spotlight on You!

"Attending one of Able2 Pontefract's award ceremonies makes you feel proud to be part of the human race. Their upbeat music and positive words of praise create a wonderful atmosphere whilst awarding their members an overwhelming feeling of pride, joy and excitement. Well done to all those that set the scene for these events."

Marie of Able2 Pontefract
