Suddenly last summer (Eastbourne)

Together with women from all over Britain and abroad, Tyneside comedienne “Hufty” travels to the Mecca of lesbian fandom, the Pilkington Glass Ladies of Tennis Championships in Eastbourne. For many of the women any sacrifice is worth the opportunity to see their idol, Martina Navratilova, in the flesh.
