FOS|LTC Weekly News
Padel court frames are scheduled to arrive early next week, marking another big step forward in our facilities upgrade. Over on the tennis side, refurbishment of Courts F, G and H is now close to completion, and they are looking fantastic.
The weather may be turning, which is great for the grass but less ideal for outdoor sport, which is all the more reason to pop down to the club. Warm up with our Illy coffee from the brilliant new machine, or enjoy a Krombacher while it’s still on tap for a limited time.
And while you are here, make sure to check out the upcoming events listed below. Plenty is happening, and we would love to see you involved.
