CHANGE FOR SOCIAL TENNIS
Just 3 players turned up for social tennis last Thursday afternoon, October 24 which was very disappointing.
To get a hit and some exercise, the three players played cut throat. It was decided by the men to swing social tennis into night play, beginning next Thursday night, November 6 commencing around 7.30 pm. Please make an effort to come along for a game. Playing at night should allow several players to make themselves available. New players are most welcome.
