August 27th, 2025Clunes Hit & Giggle Pickleball celebrates first year

Clunes Hit & Giggle Pickleball has celebrated its first year of fun and fitness.
Maxine Hardinge said pickleball was a fun and easy way to stay active and meet new people.
“Anyone can join us for Hit & Giggle Pickleball every Wednesday at 1pm at the Clunes Sports Centre. We’ve just celebrated our one-year anniversary, and what a fantastic year it’s been.”

Maxine said what started with a small but enthusiastic group had grown into a friendly, social hub of regulars who had improved their skills while enjoying plenty of laughs and light-hearted competition.
“Pickleball is a fun and dynamic paddle sport played on a badminton-sized court. It combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis and is easy to learn and quick to master.
“We welcome all ages, genders, and skill levels – no experience is needed! You’ll learn the rules and scoring as you play, with friendly guidance from more experienced players.
“Come when you can, pay when you come – it’s just $10, which covers court hire and all equipment. Just bring your sandshoes and a sense of fun.”
