Congratulations to club member Sarah Ball who has picked up another racketlon world title competing in the Racketlon World Doubles Championships 2024 in Denmark. Sarah won the Womens Doubles +50 title with her partner, Jane Galsworthy. For those who might not know, racketlon involves playing your opponent at table tennis, squash, badminton and then tennis, with each sport played to 21 points, and the player accumulating the most points across all four sports wins the match. A fantastic achievement Sarah, well done!

A big thank you to Jane for organising our Musical Extravaganza Night at the club recently. Attended by almost 70 members, friends and family, the night was a huge success, with Joe Palmer singing live and our very own WLTC Choir singing a few songs alongside him! Many thanks to all who came along, and especially to Jane for all her hard work organising the event and to those who helped with food preparation, decorating the clubhouse, and looking after the bar on the night. It was certainly a party to remember!

Thanks to coach Martin for running this event recently. Despite the day beginning with rain and wind, the weather conditions improved for the 26 players who came along for an introduction to competitive tennis, emphasizing fun above all, especially for the younger participants. Matches employed various scoring methods and began with the 8 & under red ball players, Olive and Luca emerging as the eventual winners. Next up were the orange and green ball sessions, where Stefanos clinched victory in the 9U orange boy’s category, and Dixie and Ethan triumphed in the 10U green ball. During a break before the Yellow 16 & under matches, a delightful parent/child doubles tournament took place, culminating in Dom and Vivienne’s victory. Lastly, the 16U category, featuring six entries, saw Freya and Max triumphing in a mixed Fast 4 format. Well done to all the winners and thanks to everyone involved in making this a memorable day for all the competitors.
