Daytime Social Tennis (Autumn)

With the nights drawing in, we are going to try and play some daytime social tennis over the coming weeks before we close down the courts. 

If you would like to play, please enter your name against the date in the doodle poll below. We are using this so that people can see if it is worthwhile going down to the courts or not on a particular day, so check back to see if anyone else is planning to play.

Enjoy!
