New Slinger ball machine

The club has a new ball machine.  It is light weight (15Kg without balls), fully portable and can wheel like a suitcase.  It can be used on any court.  Please try to lift or wheel gently onto the court.

To avoid disappointment, please book the machine, when booking your court.  This is now an option, online and on the booker app.
