Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Brisbane Bayside pickleballers!
We hope you've had an awesome Christmas surrounded by family, friends, and perhaps a bit too much festive food and beverages (hey, we don't judge – calories don't count during the silly season, right?). Here's hoping you've also had a safe and happy start to 2026, and that your New Year's resolutions are still intact (mine lasted until about noon on January 1st!!)
For those of you experiencing serious pickleball withdrawal symptoms – you know who you are, the ones who've been eyeing kitchen benchtops and wondering if they're regulation - our first scheduled sessions of 2026 kick off on Monday evening, 5 January at our Wellington Point and Iona venues. The courts are calling, the paddles are ready, and frankly, they've missed you almost as much as we have. Be sure to check OpenSports for all the session details.
Here's to an absolutely fantastic 2026 filled with epic rallies, winning serves, perfect dinks, and maybe just a little less arguing about line calls (we live in hope!). We genuinely can't wait to see you all back out on the courts, doing what we do best – having lots of fun chasing a ball with holes in it.
There's loads more exciting stuff packed into this month's newsletter, so enjoy the read.
As always, see you out on the courts…
