Finals day this year was my first as Chairman. I’m told that the sun doesn’t always shine like it did this year, but there is no doubt that a lovely, not too hot day helped make our finals a success.
A number of people present, both old hands and newer members told me how lovely it was to meet new people, sit in the sun, watch great tennis and have a lovely lunch.
This year, it was particularly noticeable that 5 or 6 of the winners were new to the honours board and that is a real reflection on the changing face of the club and one that we all welcome.
The quality of the tennis, from our juniors through to the Vets was of a very high standard and a great day was had by all.
Thanks to Steve Parnell for organising all the draws and dealing with the endless requests as we approached the end. Also, thank you to all the people that helped before during and after.
