| When: | On Monday afternoons 2:00 pm-4:00 pm |
| Venue: | Driffield Lawn Tennis Club |
The sessions are every Monday afternoon from 1.30pm for a 2.00pm start, to finish about 4.00pm
Coming a little early gives the opportunity for some coaching and a warm up before play starts.
News at the club is that we will be playing on the same lawn as last summer.
Plans are now in hand for building a 3rd hard court for tennis which will be
immediately adjacent the school (rather than on the croquet lawn).
One outcome of this will be an all weather half lawn which we can use through
the winter - it will be a very different game - the same rules but very different!
I passed my coaching exam last summer and will continue coaching new players and discussing tactics with those with
more experience. Unfortunately I need minor surgery on my hand, hopefully straight after Easter. Chris Atkinson has offered to come along to assist - he is an outstanding player and is the club Association Croquet Coach.
Last year we stepped up to playing on the full lawn and this proved very popular. It means that we are more limited on numbers, but, the good news is that we have been offered an overflow slot on Friday afternoon should be need it.
