This is a social group meant for everyone – any age or ability, gender, nationality. We are inclusive, welcoming and friendly... oh, and we love kicking a ball around in the fresh air, trying to win, and having fun. The skill level of our players varies – we have regulars who are extremely good, but also others who are complete beginners, or who don’t have much experience. We balance the teams out each week, so everyone gets a chance to play their best. If you are a beginner, you will soon get to love the game. You can play for as long as you like, depending on your fitness level – no-one will mind if you leave early or sit out for a bit. If you don’t know the rules, don’t worry, you’ll soon pick it up. When: the group has now been meeting every weekend since 2021. And we play twice-weekly in the summer months, when light allows a mid-week game. Some players attend every game, others drop in and out every few months. Everyone is always welcome -  regulars, occasional players, and new faces. Thinking this might be for you? That means it probably is - come and give it a go. (Note - when you ask to join the group please make sure you have a picture of yourself with your profile, or message me directly – this is just to prevent spam)

About Beach Tennis

A great sport, it's very easy to play and good fun, and it's suitable for most abilities and ages

Beach Tennis is a cross between Tennis, Volleyball & Badminton and is played on the same size court as Beach Volleyball 8 x 16m, the net is 1.7m high. The rackets are like paddles, balls are mini orange tennis balls (less pressurised). Scoring is similar to tennis, you get just one serve, there's no let and on 40-40 (deuce) you play a deciding point.

Come along to one of our sessions and have some fun on the sand!  Everyone is welcome. Wear comfortable clothing. Best way to play is barefoot. All equipment is provided.

Be part of a gathering that shares the pleasures of hiking amongst mysterious strangers, new acquaintances, potential friends and familiar faces. Join the conversation and talk about anything before, during and after hikes. Be enriched with memorable moments while experiencing the benefits of improved well-being. Nothing happens when we procrastinate; we just get older. Perhaps you'll relive your youth whilst on another hike event, so join AHE and can come out to play. Meetup and all Meetup organisers have no legal responsibility for your safety during any Meetup event; please read [http://www.meetup.com/terms/](http://www.meetup.com/terms/)paragraph 6(2) regarding a waiver that all members sign on joining Meetup. **Satisfaction Guarantee:** If you attend AHE without smiling once and photographic evidence supports such a claim, or you can't make it for some reason after booking. Your contribution may be carried forward upon request to another hike event pro rata. Laughing may occur and is included for free. As a born and bred Londoner, I started experiencing organised outdoor adventures with the cubs and scouts. I've arranged diverse activities for many organisations, including education providers like an American summer camp and university societies. I've undertaken wilderness first aid instruction at the University of London Union and carry an emergency care kit on hikes. It has been enlightening hiking the Appalachian Trail within the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and life-changing Potomac class 5 white-water rafting. Before it became an Olympic sport, snowboarding in the famous French Alps and more remote -22°C Swedish Sälen mountains broadened my horizons. UK hikes and rock climbing in National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty have included the Lake and Peak Districts, Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire within Wales, plus Cornwall, amongst other British places. My backpacking adventures have included parts of the North and Central Americas, plus interrailing all the compass regions of the EU. Local urban walks are exciting and fun too.  Jonathan
