Order of Play - Friday 25th April 2014 7:30pm
Presentation of Trophies
The trophies are presented tonight by Therese Hutton. As most of you know, Therese is the stalwart of the tournament organising committee and without her the events would not take place. As well as this, she also performs the key task of providing nibbles and drinks at the meetings - without this incentive most of us wouldn't turn up!! Therese has only just begun to play again recently due to a foot operation, but next season we are hoping to see her put her 'new' foot forward and 'speeding' around the court again.
