Wimbledon Social Evening 

Last Friday 30th June our Wimbledon Social evening took place with over 87 members taking part  making it a wonderful success.  Thank you for supporting the event

76 players played tennis and embraced the Wimbledon theme of wearing white clothing on court.  The prize for the best turned out player went to Ann McCann who was splendid in her actual Wimbledon tennis gear.  Well done Ann.  

Well done to our Captains Susan Hunter and Patrick Nolan for coordinating another enjoyable social event and special thanks to our volunteer bar staff, some photos of the event below.

Simple exercises to feel more comfortable with the grip

1. Bounce the ball down on the edge of the racket
2. Bounce down on edge then down on the strings…turn your wrist of forearm but don’t change your grip
