JUNE QUIZ- EWAN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME (Wed 22 June @845pm)

Quiz time again folks - this time we have an all new Quiz Master in the wings preparing a quiz of intrigue and wonder. 8:45pm this Wednesday after Social Tennis and Squash - the bar is the place to be!

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER? (Sun 26 June @ 630pm)

It's nearly film night time again; this time a date with none other than Sidney Poitier and Katharine Hepburn await. The screening of the classic ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’ will be hosted by Grafton classics Helen Kersley and Stu Peason. Expect big screen glory and treats!

So Stu and Helen can cater accordingly, please register if you plan to attend via the Tournaments section in MyCourts:

HAPPY HOUR SOCIAL TENNIS (Weds 6th July 7-8pm)

Thanks to all those that attended the Happy Hour Social Tennis last week. The massive turn out was great to see, but perhaps harder for Coach Alex to cover in terms or providing enough time to everyone. Therefore future Happy Hour Socials will take place on the 1st Wednesday of each month. Expect hints, tips and organised doubles. These will require free registration via the new Groups Sessions section in MyCourts. 18 spaces will be available and registration will open 2 weeks in advance. Please see the WhatsApps groups this Wednesday for more details.

Of course Weds social tennis will continue to run each and every Wednesday as usual. Come rain, snow, heatwaves etc - all peak time members are very welcome. 6pm onwards every Wednesday is the time to hit the Grafton tennis courts!
