Tennis after work, rained off outdoors and played indoors instead

First time at one of these? Here's what it's like.

This one has happened. The outdoor plan was rained off and a member moved it indoors to Oslo Tennisarena the same evening.

Checking RSVPs…

Tennis on Thursday after work. This one got arranged in the WhatsApp group rather than planned out in advance by me, and it was full before it ever made it onto the website.

The plan was Frogner park, but it rained, so one of the guys in the group rebooked it indoors at Oslo Tennisarena the same evening and everyone moved across. Eight people played, two against two, rotating over the two hours. He sorted the court and brought balls, and you can rent a racket and borrow shoes at the desk there.

It came to 66 kr each for the court, plus 50 kr if you needed a racket, and everyone settled up with him afterwards. Nothing went through the website this time, we handled it between us.

I did not make it myself in the end. I checked the distance too late and had to bail, which I was annoyed about. Everyone who did go seemed to have a really good night.

I am putting this page up mainly so it is on record, and so you can see the kind of thing people set up in the group between my own events. That has been happening more lately and I like it a lot. There is talk of making tennis a weekly thing, so if that appeals, the group is the place to say so.
