Then as if Christmas hadn't been festive enough already, the ladies had another celebration of their own on the 18th December, when about 30 ladies turned up to play (in thick fog) or just socialise. There was plenty of Prosecco and food courtesy of Waitrose and Nicky and Louise's online ordering skills. It was great to see some team ladies plus daytime and recent new members mixing in. A very big thank you to Nicky Arnell who has organised our Monday sessions brilliantly all year.
A last chance to wish all our members a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. See you in 2018 Our Christmas Club Night get together. The snow halted play on our tennis courts but the competitiveness continued indoors on the table tennis tables together with the very skilful "Play your cards right" or Higher or Lower. There was a fiercely fought table tennis battle in the final between Bill Jackson and Mahmood Elamin against Dave Buffers and.....our own coach Mark Airey!!
Surprisingly Mark allowed Bill and Mahmood (possibly also due to some Elfin' skulduggery) to win through to the final knockout stage of “Higher or Lower” which we're pleased to announce after a fun evening at KTC - Mahmood Elamin is our KTC Christmas 2017 winner .... Well done Mahmood (sorry but no spare silver cups this time). Thanks again to Lou and Andy for the excellent nibbles (less nibbles but giant hot dogs with fried onions). What a great turn out for our Halloween special Adult club night on Tuesday 7th November. Members came down dressed too scare, and to enjoy a range of actives at the Sport Club. The spooktacular ghosts and ghouls enjoyed good games with forfeits thrown in regularly by Mark - some improving the quality of tennis, some not! The evening was well attended, so when the courts were full, the competition was carried on enthusiastically on the table tennis table. After the scores were in, Mark declared Sarah Meredith the overall winner and refreshment of hot dogs and cake were on offer. Congratulations to Sarah Meredith, and to Helen Sawyer - who was judged as the best fancy dressed. Thank you to all that came to support the event. We have a full schedule of events planned this summer - the is something for everyone!
