🥍 Sports
Tennis Section Triumphs: The tennis section of the Club showcased its prowess at the South-South InterClub Tennis Association (SSICTA) tennis fiesta held in honour of the Senate President at Ikot Ekpene Club. Notably, the tennis section secured victories, bringing home laurels for the Club.
Renovation of Umo Eno Tennis Court: After four months of neglect, the Umo Eno tennis court is undergoing a comprehensive facelift. Anticipated to be ready for use in the next two weeks, this renovation aligns with our commitment to providing top-notch facilities for our members. Additionally, plans are underway to prepare the football pitch for five-a-side games, ensuring a well-rounded sports experience.
Fully Functional Gym: The Club's gym is fully operational and equipped to support members in maintaining their fitness and well-being. Despite its functionality, the gym is currently underutilized. We urge all Club members to take advantage of this complimentary facility to enhance their health and productivity.
Underutilized Ping-Pong Board: Unfortunately, the ping-pong board has not received the attention it deserves. We use this platform to encourage members to explore and enjoy all the sporting activities available at the Club. Embracing these opportunities not only fosters a sense of community but also contributes to overall well-being and productivity.
Let's make the most of our Club's sporting amenities for a healthier and more active lifestyle!
