The next fundraiser for the South Burnett Mayor’s Community Benefit Fund will appeal to tennis fans who are earlybirds.
The breakfast fundraiser will be held from 6:30am to 8:00am on Tuesday, November 18, at Murgon RSL Club.
The special guest speaker will be former British professional tennis player Andrew Jarrett.
The breakfast is being billed as the “chance to find out what the superstars of world tennis are really like”.
Jarrett played singles tennis at the Australian Open (1978 and 1981), Wimbledon (1977-83) and the US Open (1982) but specialised in doubles, partnering fellow British player Jonathan Smith in the finals of many leading tournaments including the Australian Open.
The pair won the Auckland ATP title in 1982.
Jarrett was also a member of Great Britain’s Davis Cup squad from 1981-83.
He has been the Tournament Referee at Wimbledon since June 2006.
