A hot and humid welcome to all Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, The rain/storm season is definitely upon us. As we are all too aware, many of our pickleball sessions were unfortunately cancelled due to the sudden onslaught of storms and rainy weather. We apologise for any late cancellations that occur. The session hosts/committee members send MANY messages back and forth discussing the likelihood of being rained out before making the call to cancel. If anyone has access to a weather crystal ball, we would very much appreciate borrowing it!!

Hello Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, With the warmer temperatures along come some very unpredictable weather!! As such, we unfortunately had quite a number of our pickleball sessions cancel due to rain. I’ll put the call out again – if you are aware of an undercover/indoor facility (that is currently NOT being used) please reach out to one of our friendly session hosts and let them know. We are always on the lookout for that elusive perfect pickleball facility that is cool through summer, warm during winter and has a cover so not impacted by inclement weather events… (hahaha yes, I believe these “unicorns” do somewhere exist out there!! Hahaha)

Hello Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, Spring is here but the warmer weather has yet to fully hit us… So make sure you stretch and warm-up before jumping on the courts to play a game (or 6!!) Our AGM is around a month away so check your emails for details when this is occurring. We are always on the lookout for members to help us out hosting playing sessions. You don’t have to commit each and every week – just when you can. There is really not a lot to it, so if you can help out, please let one of your current session hosts know and they can give you some more information. Also, keep an eye out on your emails for our club’s annual player survey. This survey is a great way to inform the management committee on all aspects of the club.

Hello Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, August has been a very busy month for our Club! Some of you may be aware but most probably aren’t, while we as a club host many weekly pickleball sessions, we are also very busy behind the scenes staying true to our club’s Vision and Mission statements and promoting our Values and Beliefs within the community.

Hello Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, Hope you have all been staying warm throughout this last month. And there is NO BETTER way to keep warm than get out on to you closest pickleball courts and hit a few hundred balls over the net!! As usual, there has been plenty that has happened over the last month. - Battle of the Bay Interclub tournament against Moreton City Pickleball - All BBPC sessions now hosted in OpenSports - Tuesday Sheldon Tennis Court sessions moved to Wednesday and now hosted at the Wellington Point Tennis Courts

Hello Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, Winter has definitely hit us!! Please make sure you warm up before going out on the courts. Last thing we want is to see you injured and not playing this great game.

Hi de ho Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, I must be getting old!! Where has this year gone? Can you believe it that the year is basically half way through already!! Unfortunately, the weather impacted a lot of play this last month which resulted in quite a few sessions cancelled. We are still on the lookout for the “mythical” all-weather undercover venue, that is not already fully booked out!! Any leads, please make sure to pass them on to your session host, so we can investigate further.

Hello Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, April was another BIG month for our club!! We hosted our inaugural Club Championships! We started pickleball sessions at 2 brand new venues! Our membership continues to grow at an astonishing rate – at the time of sending out this newsletter we are at 147 financial members!!

Hello Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, With a Hip, Hop, Hipperty Hop welcome to the March 2024 edition of our monthly newsletter. It appears as though during the last month, we failed to appease the pickleball weather overlords as quite a number of our sessions were unfortunately washed out due to wet weather. We can’t really complain as we do need the rain, but I guess that doesn’t stop us from having a “little” whinge about not being able to play this great sport we all love.

Hello Brisbane Bayside pickleballers, Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!! Who would have thought, after only 5 ½ months our pickleball club celebrated its 100th financial member!! This is fantastic growth for this crazy sport we all love.

Hello all you pickleballers, Wow!! What a start to the new year!! Judging by the demand for our sessions you all MUST be pickleball addicts!! (Which is a good thing I our opinion!!)

Hello pickleballers, Happy PICKLEBALL New Year to you all!! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas with family and friends and a safe and joyous New Year.

Hello pickleballers, Well Summer is now definitely here!! The temperatures during the day and night have increased and so have the “summer” storms.

Hello all pickleballers, Welcome to the first monthly newsletter of the Brisbane Bayside Pickleball Club. What an exciting and busy couple of months it has been for this brand new club covering the bayside suburbs of Brisbane/Redlands.
