We enjoyed a sunny and memorable Finals Day at Queens Park Tennis Club on Saturday.
Congratulations to our winners – see full list below – and thanks to the volunteer team who put the show together. The tennis was high quality and competitive, the crowd loud and boisterous, and the bar did brisk business.
Thanks to Pauline, Alan, Stephen and tournament director Charlie Brown for their efforts. Our umpires for the day – all sober, wise and judicious – were Charlie Baines, Ian Teasdale, Barbara Michael and Ollie Watkins (13). Thanks to Philip Melling for delivering the umpire chairs.
