Our Clubs Senior Tournament was held on Sunday, 9th September. The day was overcast and showery, even so there were 9 matches played - 2 Semi-finals and 7 Finals with Gordon Brown figuring in a massive 6 of them, and playing as well in the last as his first - Well Done Gordon !!  It was also interesting to see more ladies involved, especially the number of new members.

During and at the end of the day the Club Trophies and Medals were presented to the Winners and Runners-up as follow:-

At 2 o'clock there was a brief halt for the unveiling of a new 'Honorary Members'  board in the clubhouse. This marks the bestowing on the previous and most recently added honorary members. A speech was given by Andrew MacLeod thanking Eveline and John Waring for their services to the club over the past 17 years which was well received by all. John then gave a short explanation and thanks to Robert Baxter and his family. Robert and the extended Baxter family, in following the wishes of  the late Anne Baxter, had recently very kindly gifted the land under and beside the Club courts. The Club marked their appreciation with honorary  memberships to family members.  

A very big thank you must go to all who came along to support the day, including those who supplied enough delicious food to feed an army, provided lots of lovely raffle prizes raising £70 for the club, all the helpers including those who sat in the cold and sometimes wet umpiring, and to all the players for giving the onlookers really good games to watch. A Huge well done to all of you in marking a great Tournament Day. Thanks also to pat Dobbie for the accompanying photo. 

The Club extends its grateful thanks to Eveline and John Waring for once again organising this tournament across several weeks culminating in Finals Day and making this the highlight of our senior Club calendar.
