Hi Picklers,
Thanks to all who joined in for our "official outdoor courts opening"

Social pickleball continues Sunday (9 - 12), Monday (6 - 7 for beginners then open play for all till 9), Tuesday (outdoors 5.30 till 7.30) and Wednesday (6 - 9) we've block booked the 2 outdoor courts as an extension to the 4 indoor courts for use during these sessions and your £3 (members) session fee covers these.

Please remember that at all other times the new outdoor courts are free for members to book (if you have a non member playing the guest fee is £5 - same as it is for tennis)

The fancy dress fun pickle on Wednesday 28th is full but if you're interested please contact Angelo directly.

One final note is that (as it's Bank Holiday ) there will be no social pickleball next Monday.

Happy pickling.
Ray & Angelo

Let's get ready to Pickle!!

Hi Picklers,
Hopefully you've kept Sunday free to join us for the official opening of our newly completed outdoor courts.
The day kicks off with FREE (for members, £5 non members) indoor & outdoor social pickleball from 10am till 1pm. It's free as a way to say thank you from the club for your ongoing support.

During this time we'll be joined by Richard Thoms, South West Director for Pickleball England who will cut the ribbon to officially open our new courts and, carrying out their ever popular coaching sessions will be Peter & Margaret Hunter (who have just returned from the Nationals).
We're hoping that all attending will join us for drinks and a BBQ (laid on especially for us) and a general social get together where we can chat about things to come!!!
Please update your attendance on GPN (as we'll need to know numbers for players who wants coaching and the BBQ
