“Best day ever.”
Risbygate Sports Club welcomed more than 70 visitors to its recent Open Day, introducing local families, couples, and individuals of all ages to the wide range of sports and social activities available at the club.
The event was a tremendous success, with visitors enjoying the opportunity to try tennis, padel, squash, racketball, bowls, pétanque and table tennis. Throughout the day, the club was a hive of activity as members and volunteers hosted demonstrations, coaching sessions, and taster activities.
Visitors enjoyed padel coaching sessions, squash and racket ball demonstrations, pétanque games, bowls demonstrations, and the opportunity to test their skills against the club’s tennis ball machine. Plus enjoying the glorious weather, the bar and BBQ.
The day attracted people of all ages, with many children keen to try every activity on offer. In a surprise to some organisers, the bowls green proved just as popular with younger visitors as the tennis courts.
One junior visitor summed up the day perfectly, declaring it the “Best day ever.”
Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. One visitor commented, “A really enjoyable day with such friendly and welcoming volunteers.”
Another said, “Didn’t realise the club was here and so pleased to discover it. Such a special place and incredibly friendly members.”
The Open Day generated membership enquiries across all sports and social activities, highlighting the growing interest in community sport and active lifestyles within the local area.
Peter Mercer, Club Manager at Risbygate Sports Club, said: “We were delighted with the turnout and the enthusiasm shown by visitors throughout the day. The event showcased not only the fantastic range of sports available at Risbygate but also the welcoming community spirit that makes our club such a special place. We look forward to welcoming many of our visitors back in the coming weeks.”
