Hi [[firstname]]
We’re still in summer mode and the club is bustling with activity from now through September:
SQUASH and RACKETBALL
Women’s squash week takes place from 16 September. We’ll celebrate this with a special event on the Sept 20 with free squash, tennis and pickleball. This should be a great evening at the club with Pizza and live music from the Van Sloths. For further information contact Finlay Stott (07732 7616180).
The winter squash season is upon us soon with Derbyshire leagues starting on September 16 so now is the time to get moving if you’ve had a break. Any club member with access to MyCourts (includes tennis gym members) can book into a Club Night session. If in doubt – just contact Dean who will assist on dean.gregory1@ntlworld.com or 07951 545545.
SOCIAL and BAR
We’ve got a full and growing social programme through the rest of the year. The next event is on September 6 ‘An audience with Helen Savage’. Helen is a former member and will recount her experiences of travelling around the world – booking now available at https://www.duffieldtennisclub.co.uk/eventbooking On October 4 we have Pete Castle, Folk singer and storyteller, followed by a whisky tasting event on Oct 20.
Following a successful first National Theatre Live evening more events will follow on Sunday evenings throughout the year. Many thanks to James who has organized this initiative and Vic Malysz for great technical support.
The coffee lounge is now decorated and serves great quality coffee for members and guests to relax before and after playing. Let’s enjoy and make the best of this new facility.
TENNIS
This week we host Derbyshire County Championships (Aug 26th - 31st). This is the county flagship event and will be held again at Duffield with all the best junior and senior players competing to become County Champions. We’ll provide food for all throughout the tournament starting early with a breakfast service. Come on down and support the club and watch great tennis. Bring a cake for the kitchen and buy a coffee.
First Aid Course - as part of our ongoing outreach to extend the club’s offering, we are excited to partner with Inspire 2 Coach in the delivery of CPD courses. The first is September 27th and is a First Aid Course. Emergency at work. For further details please contact James 07968058383
Our own Tennis Club Championships has a new, refreshed and inclusive format this year, which all players can enjoy. This takes place over one weekend, so put September 28/29 in your diary. More details to follow.
FITNESS AND GYM
Our refreshed gym is growing in popularity and we’re now starting health and fitness classes w/c September 9: Helen Treece will run a women-only gym session on Mondays; Angie Hallsworth-King joins our team and will run three classes on Wednesdays: chair fitness, Bellyfit Sage, and Pilates; Richard Brewin also joins us and will provide gym fitness sessions as well as 1:1 training. Further details to follow, so contact Grenville (07881 265259) if you or your friends are interested.
Pickleball
Pickleball continues to grow in popularity. We now have three regular social sessions a week which are well attended, and the courts are now starting to be used by members arranging their own games. Last week we had all four courts running with new pickleball members enjoying the club. Why not come along and try this enjoyable, growing sport? Anyone wanting to try Pickleball, please turn up at any of the social sessions on Monday from 5.30pm, Wednesday from 2pm or Sunday from 11am.
