REAL Tennis - the original and best?

Feel like trying a new sport this new Year? REAL tennis is the original rackets game that's developed from mediaeval times and been played by Royalty and caretakers! Its rather un-usual but great fun and not dependent on being a young sporty whizz kid. Best to look at Wikipedias page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_tennis when you type Real Tennis into Google. Well worth watching the YouTube video 'best tennis ever'.
There should be a court near you and the site lists the various locations of around 26 courts in the UK. Bristol, Newcastle, Leamington Spa, Manchester, Wimbourne, Bridport, London (several), Petworth, Hatfield, Cambridge, Reading and Wellington College etc.
The Pro's at each court are keen to get you playing and to try the game and get you started, if you like it.
The game has a very good handicapping system so that you are always playing 'level' and can improve slowly as you learn the rules and techniques to start winning.
So if you fancy something new and dusting off the cobwebs then this might be that unique game that suits you.

I have seen it played on the TV once. A history documentary I think. [Like.png]
