Some cracking matches and it finished 4-2 to the Rhino's.

All the best to Dunbar for the rest of the Season and next game up is Sat 11th April and a trip to Dalkeith Petanque Club.

Mike Goldsmith & Jim Hiddleston travelled to the impressive Oriam sports performance centre for 3 hours of an Intermediate Unicorn Pickleball points party. 8 games and picked up a good few points playing against an excellent standard of player. Probably next time though we will go for the Improvers party!.

Well done to the Unicorn guys for organising a fab day and now enjoying a restful evening watching the Jam Tarts...

☔ Weather update for today

There’s over a 50% chance of rain, so if we can’t play petanque, we’ll switch to two 30-minute games of indoor curling, with a coffee break at 11 ☕.

Good news: Wellbeing Essentials have purchased a new pickleball net that can be set up in 2 minutes. After the coffee break, there will be walking pickleball (no running) for anyone who’d like to give it a try.

If you enjoy it and feel ready for the full game, you’re very welcome to join AW pickleball at 9:30am on Wednesday mornings.

See you later! 😊

*Update ...Walking Pickleball went down a storm and Mike with our new net which is so much easier and quicker to set up.
