ADULT PADDLE EVENTS

NEW YEAR’S (PADDLE) BALL DROP – DECEMBER 31ST

8:00 PM. Ring in 2023 with some friendly competition and resolution-sharing (and later breaking?).

Dress in your most sparkly athletic wear. We’ll provide the festive ambience, music and champagne. You bring a dish to share and BYOB.

No partner needed. We will draw teams and mix it up throughout the evening!
Don’t forget to sign up by 12/29/22 on EZ/MemberMe or at the Paddle Hut or by email to: kuhr.angela@gmail.com or staciepete@comcast.net.

SWIRL, SIP, & SERVE PADDLE MIXER – January 20th

6:30 PM. All levels welcome.Every Good Party should include Wine and Paddle…so let’s have both!

Bring 2 bottles of your favorite $20 and under wine (the 2 bottles should be the SAME wine). And, bring a heavy appetizer to share.

When you arrive, we will put one of the two bottles into a brown paper bag to add to the blind tasting. You will be provided with a scorecard. Throughout the evening, sample and rank each brown paper wine bottle you try.

In between swirling and sipping, we will be serving up on the paddle courts in 30-minute random mixed-team matches. After several paddle and wine-tasting rounds, we will tally up the scores and announce the winning bottle of wine.

The “winner” of that bottle will go home with all the secondary wine bottles brought to the party! A case of wine, for first place, and if enough people come maybe 6 bottles to second place.
Sign up on EZ Facility or in the Paddle Hut. RSVP by Monday, January 16th. Hosted by Jenny Creelman and Meghan Sheehy.

JUNIOR PADDLE

Junior paddle continues this Tuesday.
Clinics are offered on Tuesdays from 4:00-5:00. Please note the time has changed from last year. Children must be between the ages of 8 -14 to participate.

Weekly sign-ups will be offered every Sunday for the following weeks’ class through EzFacility/MemberMe. Please cancel if your child is unable to attend the clinic. If you need to cancel within 24 hours, please email Carol Plaut directly kaplaut2@comcast.net

This clinic is free but numbers are limited to 20 participants each week. The club has used paddles for children to borrow. Children are also required to wear protective eyewear. The club has sports goggles available to borrow. As with all sports, children should wear appropriate footwear, comfortable clothing, and warm layers as the weather gets frosty.
