Play Tennis with 12 Time Grand Slam Champion Rafael Nadal, in the 2013 Necker Cup Pro-Am, on Sir Richard Branson’s Private Necker Island


Rafael Nadal, Ana Ivanovic, Stefan Edberg, Martina Navratilova and Daniela Hantuchova, will be joined by leading current and past ATP/WTA players, along with Sir Richard Branson, in the second annual Necker Cup Pro-Am, scheduled for November 12-16, 2013, on Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island, in The British Virgin Islands. 

The event is organized by Premier Tennis Travel, a leader in luxury tennis travel and event management.

Amateurs can book a 4 night/5 day all-inclusive team package to the world’s most exclusive tennis Pro-Am, by calling (001) 800.376.0975 or visiting www.neckercup.com.

Amateurs can also win a trip, to compete in the Necker Cup Pro-Am, by participating in the Corporate Challenge, to be held October 4-6th, 2013, at The New York Athletic Club in New York City.

Beside world class tennis, Necker Cup Pro-Am guests will enjoy cocktail and dinner parties, and also get the chance to meet with top tennis stars and Sir Richard Branson. 

The final day concludes with a charity exhibition match, dinner, auction and “End of the World” party, in the main room of Necker Island’s Great House. 

2013 Necker Cup guests will be some of the first, to ever see Necker Island’s highly anticipated, newly rebuilt, Great House.

Last year’s Necker Cup raised over $1,000,000 for worthy causes. Auction bidders can win unique, once in a lifetime experiences, such as: one on one hitting sessions with some of tennis’ best pros, luxurious trips and merchandise, premier tickets to sporting events, signed memorabilia and much more. One hundred percent of all donations from the auction, will directly benefit the local BVI community, Virgin Unite, the National Tennis Foundation, Rafa Nadal Foundation and other ATP and WTA player charities.

    Vermont-based Sojourn Bicycling Vacations Will Debut Three New Weekend Bike Tours in Their Home State This Summer

    Sojourn Bicycling Vacations will begin offering weekend bike tours in their home state of Vermont this summer. The three new trips, planned for prime cycling season in Vermont will debut in June and continue through September. Each trip includes three nights of lodging at one of Vermont's top inns as well as three full days of riding the State's finest bike routes.

    Best known for their six-day, world-renowned Lake Champlain Valley tour, Sojourn now plans to make this spectacular region of Vermont more accessible to cyclists who find it difficult to get away for a full week's vacation. One of the three new trips will be based on the shore of Lake Champlain at the historic Basin Harbor Club, offering an array of activities such as boating, golf and tennis, as well as serene lodging, and exceptional cuisine. This trip provides easier and intermediate bike route options as well as visits to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and historic sites such as Crown Point and Essex on the opposite shore of Lake Champlain.

    Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe will host an intermediate level trip that also offers plenty of activities other than cycling. This sprawling property features an extensive network of walking trails, mountain bike trails, outdoor pool, and spa. Road cyclists will enjoy a classic loop through picture book farmland and a spectacular rural ride to Montpelier, Vermont's State Capital. A reception with Sam von Trapp at Trapp Brewery is also planned.

    Sojourn will also offer a trip for avid cyclists who want to test their mettle by tackling the famed gaps in Vermont's Green Mountains. The Waybury Inn, nestled at the base of the mountains in the tiny village of East Middlebury, will serve as the lodging base for the gaps trip. Featuring over 10,000' of climbing over three days, participants will appreciate the hearty fare in the Waybury's restaurant and pub, as well as the selection of local craft beer. A nearby mountain stream will provide a refreshing way to conclude each day's ride - one of which features a full century option.
