Tournament on the Courts
On Sunday 26th October we held out End of Season Tournament on the courts. The weather prior to Sunday had been a bit ‘iffy’ but Sunday dawned with brilliant sun shine which continued all day; although turning a little cold toward the end of the afternoon.
Sixteen members turned up to play with another three coming along to spectate I am pleased to say that Alan Coppock won ops followed yours truly with 22. Janet Chambers was once again holding us all up comping last with 11 hoops followed closely by Peter, Nigel and Donna all getting 12 hoops.
The raffle raised £72 for Club Funds – many thanks to everyone for bringing a prize.
Indian Meal
In memory of Ed, our Indian Social this year was held at the Shalimar Restaurant, Darley Dale, on the 9th November. It was a good turn-out with 21 of us sitting down to eat. The food was good and, I do believe, everyone enjoyed the evening. Ali, the Manager, kindly donated a raffle prize (a meal for 4) which was won by Ian Avent – the raffle raised £160 for the ‘mower’ fund. I can also let you know that Ali very kindly gave the Club a cheque for £100 for our ‘mower’ fund. His generosity didn’t end there, he handed out £10 meal vouchers to everyone when they paid their bills. On behalf of the Club, I thanked he very much for his support.
