The Launch Party

As with all our padel opening events, Romford kicked things off in style with a packed opening party that brought the local community together for an unforgettable first taste of padel. The evening included free intro sessions, a competitive social tournament and even a local celebrity! The appearance of Big John – aka The Boshfather – got involved in the action and helped to create a fantastic atmosphere.
