BIG thanks to Brian Hodson and Bob Craig for providing instruction to 13 members from the Penticton Curling Club last Friday evening.
Judging by the laughter, the curlers-come-pickleballers had a great time! None of the participants had played pickleball before, but were doing well after only a short practice. By the end of the clinic they were playing games with smiles and new-found skills.
Thanks also to Terri Draude (PPC Secretary extraordinaire) for organizing and administering the session and to Sharon Romank for taking pictures and helping out with tips for the new players.
A reminder from Walter Knecht of Pickleball BC that wearing eye protection when playing pickleball is highly recommended.

On Saturday, July 23, 2022, your PPC is hosting two clinics with instructors Robin and Dana D’Abreo from Steve Deakin Pickleball.
The 8:00-10:00 a.m. clinic is designed for players playing at the 3.0 to 3.5 level, and if you are a 3.5 to 3.9 player then sign up for the 10:00-noon session.
Registration is directly through the website stevedeakinpickleball.com. Cost is $75. Registration is limited to 16 participants per session.
Since the registration is not on our PPC website or Court Reserve, anyone from anywhere can register, so get your spot booked early!
Penticton Pickleball Club was well represented during Seniors’ Week by Debbie Wagar and Shirley Persson. A Community Groups exhibition was held at the Penticton Seniors Drop-In Centre as the wind-up for Seniors’ Week.
Debbie reports there was quite a bit of interest in our club. Most people knew about pickleball, and some had even played before.
Many thanks to Debbie and Shirley for hosting the table!
