Deemed to be the best ever. The courts were alive with players dressed in Christmas colour – red and green. An enjoyable time had by everyone the clubhouse looking lovely with the tables set and an abundance of great Christmas food. Thanks to everyone who must have gone to lots of effort to make the day such a success.

Sunday Session Christmas Breakfast and Presentation of Trophies
A beautiful morning saw Graeme Clark (Club Captain) firing up the BBQ and prepared a wonderful breakfast of bacon and egg roll accompanied with Christmas bubbly cheer (it would make other Sunday mornings seem very mild in comparison). The Championship presentations followed with the handing out of new trophies which will be very much sort after as they look very stylish in any spot in one’s home.
