Inaugural Huntingdon Pickleball Community Competition π₯
This took place on Sunday 25th May.
There was a fabulous turn out for this mixed doubles contest. Dan and Alfie did a fantastic job of organising and creating a really friendly atmosphere. Congratulations to Hannah and Gary who came out the winners and a big shout out goes to Oliver, the youngest player who made it to the final, going one better than his dad, Dave. Karen summed it up perfectly "What a cracking day. So much fun" And that's really what it's all about!
Club 'Ouse Cruise' - Saturday 21st June π£
It was a beautiful sunny evening as we zig zagged our way down the Ouse, to our picnic and BBQ spot, where Fred, Hal, Ava and Joshua made an excellenct job of gathering wood so we could toast marshmallows. After a delicious spread of generously shared food and several drinks we zig zagged our way back with the sun setting over the meadows. From 3 .... to 3 score and ten, everyone had a fabulous time, just need to work on the rowing π
