It’s all systems go at Albany This week it is reminders to all members of the different events that will be taking place from now to TT. Calling all the Albany Mini Tennis members – your Summer Mini Tennis sessions start this Saturday. Players are asked to turn up at the same time as their last session. The new Club Coach, Ian Watson plus Martin & Margaret will be assessing you all to see if you are ready to move to the next level. If you have young friends or siblings that haven’t tried Mini Tennis yet bring them along at 12noon or 1pm and they can have a Taster session. We do look for them to be club members after 2 or 3 sessions but their annual club fee will cover the costs of each weekend. Times are RED BALL -Saturdays 12noon,1pm,2pm and 3pm. ORANGE BALL Sundays 1pm, GREEN ball 2pm,3pm & 4pm. Any further details can be obtained by ringing Ian on 496293 or e-mail ianwatsonpts@manx.net. All course details are also on the club website albanyltc.co.uk. Now to the Senior players - the Annual Presidents Day competition for the En-tout-cas Shield will be held on Sunday 8th May.
