The Winners !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

On Wednesday, November 18 about 40 tennis players gathered at the courts to celebrate the recently completed Club Championships.

Chef Morten treated us to a fantastic cookout complete with all the trimmings. We all played some round robin doubles for about 2 hours while he grilled and got everything ready. Appetites wetted by the tennis, we then sat down to enjoy the food and festivities.

The highlight of the evening was the awards ceremony recognizing this year’s 14 club championship winners. Each winner was presented with a championship glass with the club logo and player’s name and flight etched on it. The glasses will remain on the “champion’s shelf” in the tennis lounge for the next 12 months. Champions will be able to drink from their respective glasses while at the same time commenting on the shortcomings in the abilities of their less fortunate fellow players who happen to be nearby. There was plenty of that on this evening as the winners raised their glasses in victory.

But wait…there’s more!! Photos were taken of all winners where they will hang on the tennis lounge’s “wall of fame” for all to see during the next year.

The evening was a rousing success. The cooling temperatures as the night wore on could not dampen the spirits of the group. The club and the tennis staff did a great job making the evening a success. We all look forward to a bigger and better event next year.

· Women’s 2.5 doubles: Sonya Eddings and Ann Campbell
