Around the Courts – 11th March

A nice change in the weather and no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening than celebrating young Frank’s 90th birthday at the club.


Gosnells Easter Egg Competition

Today March 10th 2024 saw the Easter Bunny Comp at Gosnells being played.

A fun tournament, no HC cards.

Players scored by Easter Eggs.     Each player was given 15 eggs at the start of play.

If you lost, you gave the opposition the difference in the score. Eg, if you lost 5-7 you gave your oppos 2 eggs.   The player at the end of the day is the winner. 

The winner was  Eric McCurdy with a total 31 eggs and in second place was Alison Adeley with 27 eggs.

There was a sumptuous lunch with served Salads, sausages and cheese cakes.

The Bunny tail belongs to Ros, a visitor from Scotland.

The weather was perfect and everyone had an enjoyable day.
