Ladies Racketball & Lunch
On Friday 23rd June and Friday 28th July, I will be running a fun 1hour Racketball class for players of all abilities. Bring a friend It doesn’t matter if you’ve never played before, I’ll teach you the rules and you’ll be playing in 10mins. It would be lovely to see some ladies from tennis or the gym who haven’t played Racketball before, let me show you and debunk the myths around Squash & Racketball to prove that anyone of any level and age can play and it's not what you may have envisaged.
Once we’ve finished, we’ll head upstairs where we’ll have lunch. Cost of the session and lunch is £10.00 for members.
