    Pickleball starts tomorrow

    If you fancy taking up a new sport, then you might like to try pickleball. And starting tomorrow, there’s going to be a regular pickleball session at Cranborne Village Hall, every Thursday, 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

    Pickleball is a bit like tennis but on a smaller court and with solid bats. It’s easy to pick up and fun to play. Come along and join us. Just bring your trainers – all other equipment is provided. It’s £5 a session. We’re all learning so no experience needed.

    Come and try pickleball this Saturday

    Pickleball is coming to Cranborne Village Hall this Saturday 8th November. This is your chance to give this fantastic sport a go. And we’ve got a great pickleball coach coming to show us all how it’s done.

    Pickleball is a bit like tennis but using bats similar to large ping pong bats and a lighter ball. It’s great fun and much easier to pick up than tennis. 

    Come along between 3pm and 5pm to try it out. Just bring your trainers.

    It would be good to know numbers in advance so email anna@cranbornevillagehall.org.uk or WhatsApp 07748 522218 to register interest.

    What a night!

    It was a fantastic night when the Great Big Cranborne Quiz returned to the village hall. It was a hard-fought contest and in the end only half a point separated the top two teams. The Cottage Mewsers just sneaked it and won the coveted Book and Bucket Cheeseboard as well as bragging rights on the streets of Cranborne. Congratulations to the winners!
