The club will be entering teams in the IOMLTA Mixed Doubles leagues and Ian Watson urgently needs to know by Friday (18 June) how many members want to play in the Leagues.

There are currently enough members to enter 5 or 6 teams but the club often finds women members are shy of competing despite being good enough.

So come on “Girls” give Ian some good news email ianwatsonpts@manx.net or txt him 496293.
