PickleBall

Status:Active, open to new members
Leader:
Chris Spence
Group email: PickleBall group
When: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
Venue: Robin Park Sports Centre

The new sport of 'Pickleball' is now part of our range of activities. Courts are booked at Robin Park, weekly, on Wednesday afternoons, from 1pm to 3pm.

Changing rooms and cafe available at the venue, if coming straight from our Wednesday morning meetings or coffee and natter sessions.

Described as "a fun sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis" this is something that is rapidly becoming popular - especially amongst u3as and similar groups, while not needing you to be dashing around a court quite as much as with other racquet sports!

Cost will be £5 per session to cover hire of the courts. Equipment provided, just come along in comfortable sports clothes and trainers, and give it a try.

However do please register your interest with Chris first, before just turning up, to get yourself on the contact list in case of any last minute changes, and so that she will know how many to expect.
