Thursday night is our busy Mixed Doubles Club Social night. Competitive play open to members of a reasonable (+) standard. Matt Dwyer runs these sessions which are often over-subscribed. Mixed (mostly) doubles, banter and the most social (post sweat!) session of the week at the club. A popular session, the bar is more lively than local establishments on a Thursday evening.

Format most weeks is ‘organised’ balanced (with some play up, play down) pairs arranged by Matt in advance. Availability is sought on a Tuesday and pairs released / sent on a Wednesday. Sessions are 1.5 hours of duration with starting times starting at 17:00, 17:30, 18:00, 18:30, 19:00, 19:30 and a final session at 20:00. Lights and music provided by the club, balls and banter provided by members!

Every 3rd or 4th week Matt runs a similar format but as a ‘rock-up’ so one can turn up anytime they wish throughout the evening with no need to provide availability. The rock-up sessions tend to be 45 mins duration where you can play 1 session or as many as you wish. Matt on a ‘rock-up’ organises the pairs on-the-spot rolling throughout the evening.

Dinner, supper is also on offer through ‘Ollie the Chef’ – main and an optional dessert. Food served circa 18:30 through to late – if you play the last session at 20:00, you won’t miss out on dinner as it is served as and when you are ready. Prices and requests for supper / dessert are made through the ‘Thursday RLTC Supper Club’ WhatsApp group. Club members - please message Matt with your mobile number to be added to the group.
