To record the success of Monday's events, I think a series of photos illustrates what happened much better than words. Note the photo showing the concentrated study needed at the beginning - to cope with last minute withdrawals - then see what they missed!
You'll note Stuart carrying beer for his supporters, but then wisely drinking water on the court. In the excellent meal following 4 rounds of arduous, & well-fought doubles, you can count the smiles in the sunny restaurant scenes. This gives some idea of the overall good humour pervading this happy day.
Suggestions that some of the couples were too strong for even competition have been heard. Computations to correct this in arrangements for the next friendly tournament are already well in progress. We hope you will not have long to wait before you can enjoy a similar jour de fête!
