Rackets Quintathlon at Queen’s Club

To continue the noble tradition of having a major international get-together every few years, often around the time of the Olympics, we are holding a rackets Quintathlon from 7 to 14 July 2012

The format remains the same- two teams of about 50 players each, hopefmericans. Each team will play rackets, real tennis, lawn tennis, golf and a bit of squash, all in doubles and cap off the week with a “mystery sport”…with just an hour’s notice of the rules !

Social events, which will be open to non-players, are yet to be finalized but are sure to include the Queen’s Club annual barbeque. The week will also include the grand opening of the new rackets gallery and long room at Queen’s.

It would be great to hear expressions of interest so please email Mark Agate on mark.agate@springlaw.co.uk or James Walton on James@jgwalton.com

The official website of Quintathlon 2012 is up and running and a recent informational flyer can be viewed by clicking here.
