Junior Christmas Dates
Hi Juniors & Parents
We hope you have enjoyed this term of tennis & squash on Friday evenings and looking forward to the build up to Christmas and a New Year. 2024. Paris Olympics, Paralympics, Euros, T20 cricket world cup & ATP & WTA tennis back on Sky Sports for 5 years!
Just wanted to get in touch with a few dates for your diaries...
The last club night of 2023 for tennis will be Friday 8th December - please feel free to wear something Christmassy!
Squash will run until Friday 22nd December and re-start on Friday 5th January.
We hope to see lots of you at the Christmas party a couple of days later on Sunday 10th December 12-3pm which should be lots of fun with children's entertainment, party food and mulled wine for the adults.
As always, Friday junior tennis club night takes a mini winter break for January, but you are welcome to come down and use the courts. Maybe a bit of parent/child bonding! The coaches will be back fully energised to restart tennis Friday nights on February 2nd 2024. Please note that parents should remain at the club during these sessions in case their child needs to leave the court for any reason.
Few Christmas facts:
- Jingle bells was the 1st song played in space
- The UK spends roughly £48,000,000 on Xmas puddings
- According to many historians, Jesus was most likely born in the spring!
- It was the Dutch who 1st thought of leaving milk & cookies for Santa
- 16 - the average number of Xmas pressies a UK child receives!
- The abbreviation Xmas isn't irreligious. The letter X is a Greek abbreviation for Christ
- Slade make about £500,000 in royalties from Merry Christmas Everybody
- The Pogues about £400,000 for Fairytale of New York (maybe a bit more with Shane McGowan passing away!)
- Mariah Carey about £375,000 for All I want for Christmas
And finally... The most brussels sprouts eaten in 1 minute is 31!
We look forward to a healthy and busy 2024 and seeing you all again with lots of fun tennis & squash down at the club.
Have a lovely Christmas and a very happy new year.
