I am recovering from a stroke in April 2022 and I heard about Essex Tennis offering a free 6 week tennis programme for stroke survivors. It takes place at Great Baddow tennis club on a Tuesday at 10am for 1 hour. It started 25th April 2023 and I was the only attendee! Rob Collins mobile is on the club’s website if you’re interested

Welcome @SimonRoyce hope your recovery is going well.

Chelmsford is a bit far for me but hopefully there will be someone interested so you can have a playing partner.

@SimonRoyce
I’m sure getting out in the fresh air with some exercise and a little social interaction can be no bad thing. The better weather is coming. I hope you can take advantage of it and maybe a few more will give it a try.

keep on keepin’ on

I’m glad you were able to get something out of this.

Activity is said to be good for you.

Perhaps there is a way to continue, or an alternative, so you don’t simply stop.

Maybe now is the time to be looking around.
