WINTER MIXED FINALS DAY
With the quarters in full swing, we wanted to give you a heads up for the big finale on 21st March . Detailed timings will become available once the order of play is clearer, but please clear your calendars for the whole day and assume an arrival of around 10am . Feel free to bring your own food/lunch for the day but remember, Grafton now offers toasties etc which you can take advantage of and buy on the day. Finally, to acknowledge the sweat and tears that got you to the final day through the cold and rain, we also have a late licence to continue the celebrations into the night!
RACKETLON - BATTLE OF THE SPORTS!
Tennis, Squash, Table Tennis – which is the hardest and who are the best athletes? On SATURDAY 16th MAY we will find out.
Each match will feature one opponent and three disciplines and by the end of the day we will crown Grafton’s best all-rounder!
So dust off your bat, practice your boasts, and get comfortable behind the baseline – Racketlon glory awaits!
WINTER MIXED WARM-UP QUIZ
Not long until the next quiz, hosted by Emma Webb and Sarah Dickinson, on

WIMBLEDON BALLOT PREPARATIONS
It's almost that time of year again, when Grafton holds an internal ballot to allocate tickets to go to Wimbledon. More details to follow. However in the meantime, please got to the LTA website and check that you've:
1) opted-in for the ballot;
2) linked your profile to Grafton Tennis Club ie that your profile shows that Grafton is your home club.
Every year people have to forfeit their tickets because they didn't do these 2 quick and easy checks on the LTA website. Thanks.
