NEW: Summer Mix-in BBQ Nights – All welcome

Last Thursdays of the summer months:   From 6 - 8ish.   FIRST DATE:   Thursday  29 May  
(For our inaugural evening - Jez Pigden will be bringing along his decks and DJ skills to add to the party atmosphere!) 

then 

Thursday 26 June, Thursday 24 July,  Thursday 28 August   

BYO food, drink, picnic equipment.

All welcome, including friends and families of all ages, whether playing that evening or not. A great opportunity for tennis widows and widowers to get to meet those tennis playing friends they keep hearing about or for members to simply enjoy a relaxed evening of very social tennis in our wonderful club setting!

We will fire up the BBQ, there'll be a team member on site to oversee the BBQ cooking.  Of course you can choose to bring a cold ready cooked picnic instead/ as well!   Having just had a trial run on the BBQ - we strongly suggest sticking to food thats safe , quick and easy to cook  (sausages are ideal, pork, lamb, chicken or veggie kebabs, lamb cutlets, fish in foil, steaks  and burgers are also fine but dense pieces of chicken, especially on the bone are trickier to cook when there's a crowd).

Play some tennis, sit and chat, sip a chilled glass of wine /beer/coffee and, as ever, when we all get together off court - enjoy a jolly good evening!

All we ask is that you bring along absolutely everything you need (just as you would for a countryside picnic), including a bin bag , so that you can take everything  away with you after. As  you know the club has very limited facilities for disposing of waste and NO ability to dispose of bottles.

If you forget something and so need to use anything from the club kitchen,  just remember to wash up and put it away in the cupboards after you!  This is intended as  an informal  DIY event for us all to muck in on together. ( ... sadly we just couldn't get the staff !) 

In the event of CANCELLATION due to bad weather - we will make a decision by no later than 3pm on the day and send a Whatsapp Message on the Social SLTC whatsapp so please make sure you are signed up to this.
