Indoor Tennis at Hills Road on Sunday 19th February
Have a nice lie in on Saturday morning because there's no chance of tennis. It's snowy and freezing and for once I won't be fighting off the duvet to check the court conditions at 7.30am.
No prizes for guessing why. The courts are still covered with snow and there's little prospect of a thaw today and temperatures are predicted to plummet again tonight. Temperature is not a problem for some of us if it isn't icy, which sadly it will be tonight.
Welcome to Jo and Mark from Girton who have just joined the club. Although technically they joined today (4th Feb) they've already demonstrated they like their tennis tough by turning out two weeks ago when the temperature was minus 6C. Today when the starting temperature was MINUS 8C they were back for more!
It is one of those lovely cold sunny winter mornings but the courts ARE TOTALLY playable. I hope to see you shortly after 8.30am. Hats advised for the follicly challenged.
Lookout for a weather update just after 7.30am on Saturday morning. Just because it's cold the courts might be playable. Two weeks ago it was minus 6C but there was no frost on the court so it was completely playable and the 10 of us who turned out had a great session in beautiful conditions. If the courts are a bit slippery but the sun is out then we may delay the start time.
WATCH THIS SPACE.
Mix In can start at the usual time. I have checked the playing surface and although there is a frost the surface is not slippery.
It's mild, dry with light winds so ideal weather for the last Wednesday Mix In of 2011.
Too Icy to Play at 8.30 so Mix In is OFF, However feel free to contact other members of the club by adding a Topic in the Forum inviting folk to play later if the conditions improve (you will need to log in)
If you are interested in finding out more about our club then we want to hear from you
