Cardio Tennis at Western!

Alberto will be running cardio tennis on Wednesday evenings from 8-9pm starting this Wednesday 26th October. This is a fun and very active session to music where no tennis experience is necessary. .It's basically a good workout on the tennis court doing lots of hitting and footwork drills to high tempo music on a boombox!

Maximum 9 people per session so if interested please reply asap. If very popular we will run more classes.

Cost is £7 per session paid direct to Alberto on the night.

Please let me know if any queries

Welcome to the Western Club News Italian Deli in members bar! Treatment room nearly finished Xmas Night in Caffe Parma Club Champs Finals Report

Italian Deli in members bar! Called "Art & Food" Starting this coming Tuesday. From Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm  we will have an Italian deli operating in our members bar area. Renato from Abruzzo will be offering a variety of products imported from Italy not currently in mainstream shops. He will also arrange various evenings of "show cooking" which will involve a small number of people being shown how to cook traditional Italian dishes. (Dates & details to follow) Renato also intends organising music nights, art exhibitions, sporting photo competitions, fashion shows, beauty products and even "Italian chat" days where you can improve your Italian and have a coffee at the same time! You will also be able to buy coffees, drinks and snacks from Renato during daytimes when the members bar is generally quiet. We feel that this will be a worthwhile experiment attempting to bring more life to this area and introducing a variety of new club events. More details to follow but all going well this will continue up until Xmas at least!

Xmas Night in Caffe Parma Please remember to pay your deposits direct with Caffe Parma for our annual dinner/awards night on Saturday 10th December.

Tennis Club Champs Finals Day Congratulations to all the winners and runners up on a fabulous day last Saturday when the sun split the skys and we enjoyed some wonderful tennis from our balcony! Both the mens and ladies singles finals were of an extremely high quality with Hamish Stewart becoming the youngest ever male winner in club history at 17 years of age! (as far as I know ) The runner up was another 17 year old Euan Gibson Smith who then went on to win both the mens doubles with John Ratcliffe and the mixed with Aimee Black. Aimee defeated Kirsty Macdonald in the ladies final for her 3rd singles title! The ladies doubles was won by Aimee and Jotie Purba while the ladies over 35 was won by Maggie Mclellan and the mens over 35 by Gordon McGuigan.
