December 2011 Kangaroo Valley Voice www.kangaroovalley.nsw.au Page 53<br />
Tennis social day was fun for all<br />
Having postponed the Tennis Club<br />
Social Day last September because <strong>of</strong><br />
rain, the weather on Sunday November<br />
20 could not have been better: after a<br />
sticky start there was cloud cover and a<br />
pleasant breeze and more than 40 men<br />
women and children enjoyed the day.<br />
Under the steady hand <strong>of</strong> Dion Larkins<br />
the sub-committee organised both Singles<br />
and Doubles Competitions for the adults<br />
and Janette Merchant and Amanda Gazzard<br />
kept the children amused with the great new<br />
low compression balls that allow even the<br />
tiniest <strong>of</strong> children to powerfully hit the ball<br />
over the regular net; the adults enjoyed<br />
trying out these balls too.<br />
All players were given handicap points so that<br />
the A graders were able to compete with the B<br />
graders.<br />
After an extremely evenly matched final, that<br />
ended with a tiebreaker,<br />
Oliver<br />
Radic defeated<br />
Dion Larkins<br />
and the winners<br />
in the Doubles<br />
were Paul<br />
Turnock with<br />
Oliver Radic.<br />
Unfortunately<br />
there weren’t as<br />
many children<br />
taking part as<br />
expected<br />
because the Fyre<br />
play "Island"<br />
involved most<br />
<strong>of</strong> the school<br />
children and<br />
Oliver Radic (left) singles and doubles winner<br />
with Paul Turnock (doubles winner)<br />
their parents and Holy Communion counted for<br />
the rest.<br />
So we would like to give special mention to<br />
Emily S, Emilie H, Taidgh and Evan, Bryn and<br />
Jarrah and Will, who all took part in the round<br />
robin event and played with vigour and great<br />
sportsmanship.<br />
We look forward to another opportunity to<br />
hold these events when maybe we will be the<br />
sole event <strong>of</strong> the day!<br />
Our children in the Valley live such full lives,<br />
it’s wonderful to see.<br />
We would also like to thank Oscar Scherl who<br />
was chef extraordinaire at the BBQ and Judy<br />
Inall who masterminded the scoring and round<br />
robins.<br />
The future <strong>of</strong> Valley tennis in firm hands judging by the competitive juniors<br />
