We had a little sunny interlude on Friday, when twelve of us had a very enjoyable morning on the lawns, with several games only finishing on the final hoop.. We play doubles and change partners after each match. This adds to the variety of play and gives the players a chance to compare playing styles and strategies.

We have two more sessions this year before the end of British Summer Time - Friday 25th September and Friday 23rd October. Unfortunately we no longer have access to winter lawns.
