We just came back from the Southland Sports Expo at the mall in Invercargill, so I am sure there will be heaps of new faces joining the pickelball courts soon!

Please be aware that the ILT Stadium Southland is hosting the PolyFest this week, so no pickleball at the velodrome!

And you have 6 more days to join the Quick & Dirty #2 - Social Grade tournament!
