We had a lovely Christmas meal on Saturday night at @brandlingarmgos and followed up today with our Christmas tournament.

We've had a great year and we cannot wait for 2024! We'll be back in action from Sunday, January 7th - get in touch!

On days like this, we are thankful that we have indoor options at @TheNmbrlandClub to help us keep warm.

We swapped snow for the warmth of pickleball and mini tennis and it's fair to say the crew were out in their droves to play.

@EyesOpenHIV Bit chilly out today but let's sort something in the new year!

[Geordie Grand Slammers @GGSTennis]

On #WorldAIDSDay we wanted to share some great news. We baked cakes and members pulled together for last Sunday's themed tournament to raise £80 for local HIV awareness charity @EyesOpenHIV

Delighted we could contribute to such a great cause!

Bright and breezy this morning, ready for a new day!

The crew has now arrived safely in #Nottingham for the Pride in Tennis Cup... but it wasn't without incident.

Unfortunately car trouble for wor @helenr100 put paid to her plans and she's now en route home instead.

Attention fair weather players... 22 degrees this evening and no rain in October.

Every reason to keep showing up 🤣

Great evening, rounded off with cake to celebrate a member's 40th birthday tomorrow!

As some of our crew head to Nottingham next week for a @pride_tennis tournament, we thought we'd reflect back to the Kiss My Aces tournament.

Well done to Dan, Ian, Paul and Jay, who all got at least one win under their belt each.

We could share our #USOpen themed winners tonight but we thought it might be a nice idea to reflect on our tournament winners from the last year, so watch this space later this week to see who won tonight!
