On April 3, 2012 a team of PAO members from Woodstock put on a pickleball demonstration at the Woodman’s Community Centre in Brantford. The
demo was part of the OSGA program spearheaded by Doris Henhawke. Players
attended from the Hamiltion area to partake in the social event which included
refreshments and a talk about the Ontario Senior Games. The new PAO banner was
prominently displayed as team leader Eric Kendall made a presentation about the
history of pickleball and the rules of the game. The role of the PAO in
promoting pickleball across Ontario was also mentioned.
After a
demonstration new players tried the sport with assistance from instructors.
Seasoned players took to the other three courts for some great games of
pickleball.
Thanks go to Eric
and his team – Scott Revell, Carol Bossenberry and Nancy Alway for travelling to
Brantford and putting on this demo. Thanks also to
Doris Henhawke and the people at Woodman’s for their hospitality. Pictured above: Eric (on the far side of the net) talks to attendees.
