(Special Thanks to all who contributed to the bin with their empties, and especially Robyne & Mel C. for their collecting throughout the year, even before our bin was in position.)

What a wonderful turn up for our Mixed Round Robin in which over twenty participated, in perfect weather and in a friendly, competitive manner!

Even though the scores weren’t tallied due to lack of time, everyone was a winner for contributing to such an enjoyable morning’s tennis. Thanks to Mandy and Alison for keeping the four courts in constant use.

A big Thank You to Greg, Kelly and Prue at Priceline for their generous Raffle donation of the Hamper which Ann won, plus the $200 Gift Card won by Craig. Thanks to the other two people who donated the extra prizes: Won by Meg- Handcream & Chocolates and socks by David. Thank you to all those who purchased tickets. Better luck next time!
