Forty-two players participated in a break-up of three blocks of doubles and six blocks of singles, with all players taking part in both doubles and singles.
With the weather being in our favour there were no hold-ups and the event ran to schedule.
Friday night saw the players and some guests enjoy a great night out to celebrate our 25th anniversary at our carnival dinner held upstairs at the Empire Hotel.
There were a lot of photos and memorabilia displayed on the night which drew a lot of attention from all who attended.
The club is continuing to display the photos and memorabilia for anyone who was unable to attend on the night.
Then on Sunday at the end of play we were all treated to a barbecue lunch, followed by sweets before all the winners were announced.

A big thank you to her for all the work she put into this presentation and made it such an enjoyable time.
