admin — Sat, 29 May 2010 08:21:29 +0000

We are pleased to announce that our first online club shop is open for business. Here you can buy your very own Palmerston club t-shirt. There are 2 designs at the moment and a whole range of colours. We tried to get a couple of top models to model the gear for us but in the end we had to use a couple of our better looking members. Anyway have a look at the attachment to see our t-shirts. The quality of the t-shirt is great and there are a whole range of sizes. The advantage of the spreadshirt shop is that the club does not have order the gear and risk losing out on money – you order and pay for the t-shirt online.

The link is: http://palmerstonltc.spreadshirt.co.uk/ and it will appear on the club website very soon.

Palmerston Hackers Open Tournament Series underway!

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 21:18:11 +0000

Well – not quite Wimbledon but something for the grassroots player! The first Palmerston Hackers Open Tournament took place on Saturday March 26th attracting 16 competitors of limited experience.

The aim was to attract the ‘fun’ player who would not otherwise play competitive singles and of course for players to meet new playing partners!

Supervised by Head Coach David Simms the competitors battled through round robin groups to knockout stages. Surprise package was local central heating engineer and club member Mike Norris who only began tennis on the club adult courses last year . Mike turned up the heat on a succession of opponents to battle through to the final where he lost a close encounter to the powerful Peter Fowler from Mossley Hill, 32 years his junior.

Our thanks go to Hilary Craig from the Mossley Hill Club for supporting the event and bringing players. Palmerston’s own Geoff Hawkins took the consolation event.

The next Hackers Open is on Saturday 17th April at 4pm followed by a barbeque and costs £5. Contact David on 07900 955155 to book your place!
