Hi Sonia

Saturday was Super Saturday
and I don't just mean the rugby! 

Ireland won the rugby (a good thing), Man Utd lost (a good thing?), but on Saturday afternoon all five courts were being used for Club Afternoon  (definitely a fantastic thing).

Last week was the same, all five courts were being used, so what's behind this phenomenon? Well, the craic's good, weather has been great, people are just enjoying coming down the to club and meeting up with people they haven't played with before. Tell you what tho', it's getting warm in the Dome! Nothing a nice cup of tea (and a generous slice of Mrs Fitz's coffee cake - courtesy of Bernard Fitz) can't solve.
If you fancy coming down, things kick off around 2pm every Saturday!

First Serve

  • Booking times - will be on the hour and half-hour, some courts will be able to be booked for 1.5 hours, others for 1 hour.
  • email notification of booker's partner and opponents 
  • off-peak members will now be allowed to use the WCB to make bookings

Google Street View
mild hysteria on Windsor Avenue
For you those of you of a technical bent, you may be interested to know that Google, in their pursuit of world domination  have now released Google Street View. Why? Good Question. But you can have a look at Northern Ireland's Leading Club by clicking here.

Knockup
More IT peculiars
 - struggling with your two handed backhand? Struggle no more!
