Join us on Saturday 21st June from 1–5pm at Newlands Park Community Tennis Courts for the second edition of the Weegie Whackers Pride Tennis Extravaganza – celebrating Pride Month and our 2nd birthday in true Whackers style!
Whether you're a total newbie or a seasoned pro, this fun, welcoming afternoon is open to all LGBTIQ+ adults. From 1–3pm, enjoy a relaxed open tennis session with drills, games, and optional social doubles play, led by our fab volunteers. Then, from 3–5pm, wind down with a picnic in the park – complete with snacks, refreshments, and great chat.
We're here to boost visibility and participation of LGBTIQ+ people in sport, and we’ll be proudly flying our Pride flags while taking over all 4 courts in Newlands Park. Whether you're curious about tennis, looking for a new hobby, or just fancy a sunny day out with great company, this event is for you!
Tennis session spots are limited to 12, so don’t miss out – sign up early! You will be joined by some of our current members so you can get a sense of what we're all about :) The picnic is open to all (no number restrictions), so anyone else is welcome to join!
Come serve some joy, smash stereotypes, and celebrate Pride the Whackers way!
