Kingswood Park Fun day 10 June 2018 

We had a great day providing Free Tennis Tasters to local youngsters. With over 100 trying out tennis - many for the first time - and then some feeding into our Junior squad program. A fantastic effort all round.

Christmas Meal - with "WhoDunnit" Murder Mystery December 2017

A great evening was had by all at our annual Christmas meal this year flavoured by a fancy dress WhoDunnit Murder Mystery. Many clues later (and a few of us were clueless) and we discovered that the man who did the dirty deed was none other than ... Lord Gardiner himself !

Photos here.

Many thanks to Lisa for her hard work in organising the Mystery and to the staff at The Elm Tree for a wonderful meal ... and for putting up with us !
