​Tennis Xmas Tournament A Success

Ballinasloe and District Tennis Club held their annual in-house Christmas Tournament organised by club member Emily Riddell. Hosted on a cold, dry day, and played on the new courts (which were completed last August), the players enjoyed some successful exercise after Christmas
.
The club also held their Tennis Ball party recently at Gullane’s Hotel to celebrate the success in recent years. It was a great night of music, disco and dancing for the club, with finger food for the guests.
 
Works are ongoing at the courts, with installation of floodlights on site to be installed imminently. Soon afterwards, the club hopes to connect their water supply to the temporary clubhouse for kitchen facilities and toilets. When completed the club will be able to offer a very high standard of facilities to the ever-growing membership of the club , locally and beyond.
 
In the meantime, the group continue their open club sessions every Sunday from 11:00 to 12:00 for beginners, and 12:00 until 14:00 for experienced players. Open sessions on Tuesday and Friday nights will resume when the floodlights are installed. Junior Sessions are held every Saturday from 11:00 until 13:00, with Junior caching also available. The club offers six month period memberships  - Adults cost €30,  families €50, and juniors €20.
 
The club also have their tennis courts available to book for sessions, with club members paying no charge for their use. For more information on club memberships, court bookings and other services, see their website at www.ti.clubspark.com/Bsloetennisclub.
