We love our tennis of course we do. But we enjoy other things too, and
a number of social activities take place during the course of the year, ranging
from quizzes to our annual dinner and dance (for a flavour of our annual dinner
and dance, follow the link above).
BLUEBELL CHALLENGE MAY 2010
Just to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported this event on
Sunday.
It was a great turnout of twelve teams, despite the overcast and drizzly
start to the day. Thankfully
the weather perked up a bit and everyone seemed to really enjoy
themselves.
We were amazed at how well the
youngsters did, with enough energy left to still be running around when
they got back. Highlights for us were the enthusiasm everyone
brought to the day and, of course, the photos and video footage of you
all looking very daft!
In the end it was a very close run contest with three teams ending on
the same score. Three other
teams, however, excelled and in 1st place with an impressive 67.5
points were Burch and the Burchettes.
Snapping at their heels were
Butterflies with 65 points and whose youngsters also spotted the most
'wild' animals. There were
15 in total! just a hair's breadth behind came Boycies Babes &
Blokes with a very credible 64.5 points. Ramsdens Ramblers limped in
last with a meagre 43 pts.
(By the way Gizmo, the gremlin
has gone missing and is believed to be running wild in the woods. If you
spot him please let us know but take care as he can be quite
mischievous).
Longest fir cone was also closely
contested. There are two
winners here, with equally long cones - The Yardbirds and Boycies Babes
and Blokes. Both teams were awarded 2 bonus points.
Once again thank you to everyone who took part and here are the final
scores.
