SUNDAY TOURNAMENT … AND BAKE-OFF!
Adam Hofman’s post-match cakes are becoming something of a Club legend! We see no reason why the Men’s teams should be sole enjoyers of this delight, and now you can share in it! Adam has generously agreed to bake another of his gems for all to enjoy after our SUNDAY MIXED DOUBLES TOURNAMENT on the afternoon of SUNDAY 19 MARCH. Partners in the tournament will change every game, so you don’t need a partner to enter. To take part, simply email woodstocktennisclub@gmail.com saying “Yes, I / we would like to play in the tournament on Sunday 19th.” And the (friendly, fun) competition on court will continue off it: if you think you can bake a cake to rival Adam’s, please bring and share and we’ll have a (friendly, fun) bake-off!
And talking of tournaments…
SUMMER CLUB TOURNAMENT
This Summer we’re running club tournaments open to all adult members. This is a great opportunity to play some competitive matches, have fun, meet new players and attend a Finals Day which should provide some great matches.
There will be seven competitions in total, and you can enter any of them for which you are eligible:
Men’s Singles
Senior Men’s Singles (only for those aged 50 and above)
Ladies Singles
Senior Ladies Singles (only for those aged 50 and above)
Men’s Doubles
Ladies Doubles
Mixed Doubles
We aim to start matches during April and finish with a Finals Day either at the end of July or the first weekend in September – this will depend on the number of entries, and all the details will be provided before the tournaments begin.
If you would like to enter any of the Summer Tournaments please email Freddie (Graham) Page directly at gkpage@btinternet.com BEFORE the 31st March with your details and the tournaments you wish to enter. For the doubles tournaments either choose your own partner (and provide both names) or simply enter on your own and you will be paired with another player through a draw. Good luck!
