PICKLEBALL has arrived in PREBBLETON.

The first PICKLEBALL court in Prebbleton has been marked out at the Prebbleton Public Hall.
Pickleball is a game which can be played by all ages so lends itself to Family and Social fun. 

It is derived from a mixture of Tennis, Table Tennis and Badminton so it is good for developing Hand / Eye coordination.

Free "Have a go" sessions for all ages are being held during the School Holidays on Monday 25th September and Friday 29th September from 10am to 12.30pm on both days.


Enquiries to Graeme Gemmill phone 021 295 6590.
