3.5

What would you like to do in this meetup?

Have a good time, challenge myself, help someone else get better, and make some friends.

What do you love about the game?

I love the challenge. I'm still getting better, so it's always exciting seeing signs of improvement.

What "Ab" Abayomi is saying about this Meetup Group

This meetup group brings out the best people. You not only have a good time and meet some genuine people, but you also get to improve your game.

Ha ha ha, Ab, I just saw your greeting!!! Have I still got it??? Have I still GOT IT???? What??? I AM it :-)))))!!! Heehee!! Let me stop before a bolt of lightning comes straight through this window and knocks me out...I did play a few days ago and my knuckles were so cold I practically had to pry the racquet out of my hands when I was done. But of course, 50 degrees in December - can't really complain. Anyway, have a great holiday and I'll see you on the court!

Dear Ab:

I still remember your Speech on Tennis at our Toastmasters. It is great when you believe in something but even greater when you are able to use that passion to help others to better fitness and mental health. I will make a meeting as soon as possible. i just started playing again myself, and love the exercise and the social side of it. Dean
