Titan Serving Machine Drill Session:
On Saturday 13th July at 10:30am I will be running a Titan Serving machine drill session, if you have no idea what a Titan Serving machine is, you can watch my introductory video right here:
The numbers are limited to only 4 players, I have 2 already signed up, you can sign up for the event in the "Events" session right here on GPN
The cost for an hour's session is £5 per player.
I have also updated the "Events" section with all the up-coming Social sessions and again you can sign-up for those events.
If you would like your own private lesson, you can find a link in the "Lessons" section.
Outdoor Courts:
You may have noticed the outdoor courts are all ready for you to start enjoying and I know a group of you ladies have been arranging and enjoying sessions during the week, which is great to hear and we have always looked to encourage members to start arranging you own fun sessions, either one off's a weekly fun event.
I have created a group in the "Groups" section named "Daytime Dinkers" and this section is for members to pop down dates and times they are available for other members to view and start meeting up.
We still have a few more upgrades to come on the outdoor courts, the next upgrade will be the banners to enclose the outside fencing, the designs have been drawn up and will be sent for printing next week.
Another month or so and we can look to get the final upgrade complete, which will be a total paint job with anti-slip tennis court paint.
I popped a little video up showing the court transformation here:
