# Club The take Score
01 Court de PadelNorwich Really sociable club with a big cafe area set away from the courts, so it stays quiet enough to work. Great blue interior.

Eight measures, out of fifty

One to five each. Coffee and wifi doubled. Court quality is deliberately absent.

Atmosphere×1How the room looks and feels. Design, light, height, what it does to your mood.
Welcome×1Whether the staff are pleased to see you, and how easily you get into a game.
Coffee×2Coffee quality on its own terms, not padel-club terms.
Food×1Meals or snacks. Something you would eat if you were not hungry from playing.
Wifi×2Fast and stable, or fast until the place fills up.
Quiet×1Whether you can concentrate. Ball on glass carries in a big room.
Desk×1A table at typing height and a socket you can reach from it.
Showers×1Clean, hot, and enough of them to use after a busy court.
