Pickleball

I never thought that, at my age, I would be starting a new sporting interest. My good friend Ray retired around a year ago, and he was wondering what to do with his time. His partner mentioned that she had read about a new sport starting up in the local community centre, Pickleball. She suggested that he might enjoy something like this, and he suggested that we could perhaps go together. It was such a good suggestion, as it turned out, and we are now many months into the Pickleball adventure and enjoying it immensely. The game itself is easy to learn, competitive in its way and a fabulous community. The people we have met are from many different backgrounds, and all have their own stories to tell. The community is galvanised by a common interest in Pickleball and we now meet three times a week, for around two hours each session.
