Sincere thanks to all at NewsTalk and in particular, Henry McKean.

Special thanks to Laura McLoughlin who made this happen.

Unfortunately due to short notice we've had very little time to organise this so we're asking for YOUR help!

Advantage has kindly been given a slot for a bag pack in Tesco, Balbriggan, Co. Dublin on 3rd, 4th & 5th November 2011 and we really REALLY need volunteers to make this a success.

Advantage Wheelchair Tennis Club has been going since 2009 and is progressing extremely well but as always, costs are involved to keep the club going and our main enemy is court fees. Your help in this bag pack will definitely contribute to keeping the club going and allowing players with a physical disability to continue to train and compete to a high standard.

If you can volunteer a small bit of your time we would really, really appreciate it. You'll get an Advantage T-Shirt to wear proudly (Sizes may vary drastically!).

As you can see below, the slots are broken up into 3.5 hour sessions and we need to fill 8 tills for the time-slots below so if you or someone you know are interested in helping us out, please call 086 873 1526 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance!
