HALLOWEEN EVENT – Sunday 1st November

Fancy joining us for some Halloween fun, come and join in on Sunday 1st November from 4-6pm. We are aiming to split by ages on the evening, however we are asking you to book in either a primary or secondary age just to gage numbers so we can plan accordingly.  This will be a bookable event, at the cost of £5 per head, for that you will get to join in all the spooky and tennis activities, receive a drink and a snack. (more details to follow) Of course it wouldn’t be Halloween if there wasn’t dressing up involved! So come in your best spooky costume, wear a Halloween sweatshirt, or just a witches hat, but don’t forget to wear your trainers as there will be tennis activities. Booking details are in this weeks news email, we look forward to seeing you there.
