New!!! Wednesday Night is Singles Night (in Summer) – three sets games of singles – up to 20 players a night but no commitment to come every week. Book your place with James by Tuesday morning each week.
Yorkshire Two Rink Triples League (Mixed) – we have a team entered so need volunteers to play – dates to be arranged. Please sign up on Yorkshire Board if interested to play one or more games
