What Our Pupils Say
“I still value the coaching you offered me and the introduction to the sport at a membership level, I am playing on a regular basis now and have the bug as they say!” Martin, Club Member
"A warm and friendly club. The children learn through games which keeps them engaged. Would highly recommend." Hannah, George's mum
“I was a well-practiced beginner and thought the standard would be much higher than me and so I’d be holding the group back. The group was more mixed, very friendly and supportive. It has been friendly and worthwhile!” David, Club Member
