Dear all, we are very pleased to announce that the club will reopen from the 29th of March! U0001F3BEU0001F3BEU0001F3BEU0001F3BE
Please see below for an update on our events and competitiosn as well as the safety measures we have in place to keep you safe:
Monday 29th March – Coffee mornings are back!
9.30am-11.00am – every Monday and Friday going forward – it’s even going ahead for Good Friday on 2nd April! No sign up required.
Monday 5th April – Easter Bank Holiday Tournament – The Clapham Cup
This was a sell out! Entry is now closed and we have a reserve list in place. If you have entered, via ClubSpark, and can not longer attend please let Graham Fish know as soon as possible so we can activate the reserve list.
Tuesday 6th April – Friday 9th April – Easter Camp for Juniors
This was another sell out! Great news for the coaching team after such a long break. There are lots of members and new juniors coming along, which is a great new members opportunity. To allow us to follow Covid guidelines the team will need up to 6 courts in the morning and 6 courts in the afternoon during this week. There will be no Pickleball this week, but there may be pressure on court usage during the day and we would ask for your patience to allow the team to take advantage of this surge of interest.

Sunday social is back from 10.00am-12.00 – no sign up required.
