Second Serve Social 🎾

Hit, laugh, reset your week.
Join us for a relaxed tennis session followed by a short, low-key park social.
📍 Location: Park Hill Recreation Ground, Croydon
(1-2 courts booked – details shared after approval)
🕒 Schedule:

• 11:00am – 1:00pm → Tennis (doubles rotation)
• 1:00pm – 1:30pm → Park social (wind-down activity)

***

### 🎾 Tennis

• All levels welcome (yes, beginners too)
• We rotate regularly so everyone plays
• Focus is fun > competition

***

### 🌿 Park Social (30 mins): Conversation Circle + Light Stretch

We’ll sit or stand in a relaxed circle and use a few light conversation prompts (nothing deep or awkward), combined with some gentle stretching to unwind.
Think:

• “What’s something you’ve enjoyed recently?”
• “Best way you’ve spent a Saturday lately?”

Simple, human, no pressure.

***

### ✅ Approval & No-Show Policy

• RSVPs must be approved before attending
• You’ll get confirmation within 24–48 hours
• If you can’t make it, please update early

👉 No-shows without notice may lose priority for future events

***

### 🎒 What to bring

• Tennis racket (we may have 1–2 spares)
• Water bottle
• Comfortable clothes/trainers
• Optional: small blanket or towel for the park

***

Come for the tennis, stay for the people. 🎾

Once a month, we slow things down.
No courts. No rushing. Just good food, easy conversation, and a social that actually feels… social.
This is the Second Serve Supper Club — a more relaxed, sit-down version of the group.

***

### 📍 Venue (Croydon / easy access)

We rotate between:

• Cosy restaurants with bookable tables
• Private/semi-private dining spaces
• Quiet venues where we can actually hear each other

(Final location shared after approval)

***

### 🕒 Format (Monthly Saturday)

• 6:30 – 7:15pm → Arrivals + dinner orders
• 7:15 – 8:15pm → Dinner & natural conversation
• 8:15 – 9:45pm → Games + guided social
• Wrap up on time — no dragging the night out

***

### 🎲 The Twist (What makes this different)

This isn’t just “dinner and hope for the best.”
We structure it lightly so it never gets awkward:

• Small tables (4–6 people max)
• Subtle table rotations (optional, not forced)
• Simple games that spark conversation, not competition

***

### 💬 Conversation Style

No cringe icebreakers.
We use light prompts that are easy to answer and easy to build on.

***

### 👥 Who this is for

• People who don’t want loud, chaotic nights
• People who actually want to talk and connect
• People who prefer structure over randomness

***

### ✅ Approval & Attendance

• RSVP approval required
• Limited seats (kept intentionally small)
• Priority goes to consistent attendees

👉 If you RSVP, we expect you there
(No-shows affect future approvals)

***

### 💷 Cost

• Small organiser fee (covers hosting + setup)
• Food/drinks paid individually at venue

***

### The vibe

A proper social.
Not loud. Not forced. Not endless.
Just a good evening, done right.
