By Steven Young
APRIL is finally here and hopefully, that means warmer temperatures and lighter evenings – an
opportunity to get outdoors and
get active.
This month, we are looking
forward to hosting the Ladies Real
Tennis Open from 3rd to 7th.
Here at Seacourt Tennis Club, we
have a great range of sports to encourage you out and about. Choose
from our refurbished gym, fitness
classes, functional fitness, virtual
golf as well as our extensive range of
racquet sports.
Seacourt is one of the few clubs in
the UK to offer ten racquet sports
including real tennis, padel, lawn
tennis, squash, badminton, pickleball, racquetball, rackets, sticke
Players in action on the excellent Seacourt tennis courts
tennis and touch tennis.
Racquet sports offer a great array
of health benefits for people of all
ages. Combining cardiovascular
fitness, strength building as well as
challenging the brain with complex
movements and quick strategic
thinking.
It’s also a great opportunity to
meet and socialise with others.
Our two floodlit, hard-surface
outdoor tennis courts are great for
playing out in the fresh air.

MP praises small businesses
during Tourism Week
HAVANT MP Alan Mak marked
English Tourism Week by visiting
Hayling Island and calling in at
Mike’s Kitchen in Mengham Road.
The cafe/restaurant, formerly
known as Chives, is run by husband
and wife Mike and Tonya Berry
who live on the Island. They have
also opened a bakehouse where they
produce fresh cakes and pastries.
Chef Mike, who has worked in
London hotels and on board the
QE2, ran The Olive Leaf pub and
restaurant on Hayling seafront before opening Mike’s Kitchen.
He said: ‘We’re always thinking
“what can we do differently?” Last
year we did a lot of paella and this
year we might put a barbecue out
the front and cook steaks.
‘We have a lot of regular customers and if we don’t see some of the
elderly ones for a few days, we’ll
check up on them. We’re small
enough to cope, but big enough to
care. That’s our ethos.’
Mr Mak said: ‘Mike’s Kitchen is
a great example of the many small
hand to offer group and one-to-one
lessons as well as sports schools.
Take advantage of our monthly
have-a-go sessions. A fantastic way
to improve your skill and fitness.
Our social bar is an ideal place to
meet up with friends and enjoy delicious food in Wynyards Restaurant.
Follow our social media platforms
for all the latest menus and events
taking place this spring.
Our monthly membership is just
£29 per month, with access to our
gym and all sports. Additional fees
are payable for courts and other
classes.
