On Sunday 27th June, a group of enthusiastic veteran male tennis players, whose ages ranged from 60 to 84yrs, braved the cold and turned up early at the Club to do battle for the Bruce Baxter Trophy, our annual veterans' doubles championship event.
Die hards Ken Sievers, Syd Powell, Pax Lambert, Rod Keating, Peter Prager and Neil Ewin all competed. The inimitable Archie Bayvel, a previous winner of the trophy turned up late without a note, or a reasonable excuse, or a partner, so unfortunately was unable to compete. George Thompson another very keen competitor could not play due to minor eye surgery.
The competition was fierce at times, and Rod and Peter (otherwise known as Mr Chop and Mr Slice) won the final with some good quality tennis, being victorious over Ken and Neil who battled in vain to defend their title in front of an enthusiastic audience.
Our congratulations to Rod and Peter for their winning performance and for being excellent role models for younger members of the Club.
Stop Press: We have heard from a good source that ever young Archie is already out practicing in secret with one of his grand sons, for next year's event! (Jeff Carrol)

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.
