As a member of Pickleball UK now living in North Wales on the Isle of Anglesey, just letting you all know that as soon as CoVid restrictions were relaxed here in Wales, we managed to commandeer a 2-court little used Tennis Centre in Benllech Bay, overlooking the beach and the sea.
We have brought so much vibrance and happiness to Benllech Bowls and Tennis Recreational Centre, that the Committee are now allowing us to mark the Pickleball courts out permanently. We are starting with 2 but next summer hope to increase to 4 courts and then hoping to hold some Open Days for holidaymakers and locals of all ages as part of WPFs ambition to spread the Pickleball love globally.
We have attracted several brand newbies who are proving to have great skills having come from either the tennis, table tennis or badminton setting.
We are all hooked on outdoor play, and run sessions 3 days a week, with Sunday being for the more experienced players only who wish to go on and compete and attend festivals next year.
The Pickleball love is more infectious than CoVid at the moment here and from the mental health perspective alone the feel good factor after our games gives us all a huge lift in these strange times.
If any Pickleballers from England, Scotland, Ireland or South Wales fancy a visit to our beautiful island, please bring your own Paddle and outdoor ball with you and private message me so I can ensure you get a game or three.
Until we meet again .. keep on pickling 🏓🏓🏓🏓 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴
