The County hosted a successful online venue forum on inclusion with more than 20 venues represented on Thursday 19 January. Mark Bullock was joined by Shane McCullough, Naqi Rizvi& Kate Chesser who shared their experiences of LGBTQ+ sessions in Finsbury Park, blind tennis & wheelchair tennis respectively.   

Venues then explored an 'inclusion matrix and self-audit' that will be shared with the attendees.
