England: European Champions!

Last weekend (23/24 November), Roehampton Club Member James Chaudry and our Golf and Games Manager Louis Laville, were a part of the England Team, representing the country in the European Championships in a team of 12.

Mixed Doubles took place on the Saturday and England played unbelievably well all day to go unbeaten in both Open and Senior Open to win 2 Mixed Doubles Golds. This put England in a strong position but still had work to do on Sunday in Gender Doubles.

The team pulled through on Sunday, and despite not winning a gold on the Sunday, all four divisions won silver! The only team to make it to every Final, gave England enough points to win the European Championships!

A huge congratulations to the team, the support from Roehampton Club Members throughout the weekend was fantastic!

Ladies Morning 10.30 – 12pm

A Ladies Morning open to those who have played regularly and are more intermediate players. This aims to be a more competitive Ladies Morning where all players must know how to play and score. If players are able to but are newer to the game, Louis has the right to ask players to play in the earlier ladies morning.

Pickleball Afternoon 2 –3pm

A sociable and introductory session for new / beginner / social players. This session will mix between learning the rules and how to play, with the hope players can develop and move into Ladies Morning or Club Night in the future. Or for those who enjoy playing in the afternoon!

Pickleball Club Night 6 – 7.30pm

This session is for players of intermediate or higher standard. Louis reserves the right to ask players to attend another session should their level not currently be high enough.

Friday Roll Up 9 – 11am
