DAVID MILLS has remained an ever-present at the Knotty’s English Nationals pickleball tournament as he keeps the legacy of his club's founder alive.

The 69-year-old was one of the early members of Cambridge Pickleball Club, and serves on the committee.

One of the club’s founders, Denis Willing, passed away not long after the club was set up and Mills and his mixed doubles partner Karyn Duggan have steered the club in his memory.

“A man called Denis Willing was the one that was introducing it to everybody, and several people came along on a regular basis’ Mills explained.

“So, it grew from five or six people coming regularly, and we brought our friends with us and it grew from there.
