86 is just a number. Erick at WIMBLEDON 🎾😎🌞
Sharp as a tack, there are few people in this world who know more about TENNIS than Erick. Drum members can see in our mind's eye him shaking his head & mumbling "Get to the net" at the 2026 top players in the world 👌

Sometimes words are not needed apart from to mention how wonderful it is to see a couple of our well kent members playing and throughly enjoying competitive Doubles in the Over 60s league.
The inspirational aspect is their combined time on this earth is ((2 x 90) - 30 + 8) = ????
P. S. Would you believe Tom is 88? More arithmetic will allow you to calculate Gordon's age 🤣🎾

Another enjoyable afternoon with our Nigerian friends. Great to see the smiles and hear the laughter of the kids, teenagers and adults.
Lots and lots of very good tennis on all the courts. Keep it up guys. We've enjoyed hosting you all

Another great Saturday afternoon with our Nigerian 🇳🇬 visitors who we've got to know these last few weeks.
Coaches and Club Members joining in with the kids, teenagers and adults, all of whom enjoyed their time on Court 😎🎾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇳🇬 😁

Our members like Tennis so much when we go on holiday we tend to seek out courts. Here we have Craig and his mum Glynis hitting balls in Tunisia 🇹🇳 🎾 😎

Saturday was the first day we've been privileged and honoured to host a local Nigerian group on our courts. Coaches, members and the guests had a great time, mixing it up on Court.
We are very much looking forward to the next 3 Saturdays when we do it again.
Community spirit in abundance and some great groundstrokes to boot 🎾😁 🇳🇬
