Charity Day Monday 4th June 2012
Sat, Jun 23, 2012A ‘thankyou’ from Whitehorse Youth Centre
Fri, Aug 10, 2012Saturday 14th July saw yet another fantastic finals day at Sanderstead! There was lots of tennis to enjoy, particularly as this year there was also a plate competition running alongside the main competition, as well as juniors playing in their finals matches.
Well done to everyone who played and particularly to the winners in each category! All their names are included in the ‘Honours Board’ section of the website. Thank you to those who came along to support the finalists (in spite of the awful weather!!). Although play was interrupted by rain a few times, 14 out of the 15 matches scheduled were completed, which was pretty good going.

There were many volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running efficiently, without whom the day would not have been so successful. Firstly to Carrie’s team of helpers Patience and Nicola – for all the meetings, emails, typing up lists, money collection, trophy organising etc. etc! Also to Chris Watson and Maddie Dunn for sorting out all the junior matches. Grateful thanks also goes to all the umpires who gave up their time to sit in the freezing cold and wet! They included Mike, Gerry, Rob, Chris Watson, Chris Hicks and John. Anyone who feels they could volunteer for future tournaments please let Carrie know – you get first class viewing seats so it’s worth it! Also to Chris Hoskins for checking nets, getting out balls and setting up umpires chairs. Then there are the caterers who provided coffee to warm everyone up, a lovely lunch and an even tastier BBQ dinner – thanks in particular to Jim, Maureen, Maddie, Marilyn and Judy (to name a few!). Thank you to Clive and Derek for taking all the photos – a selection are now on display at the club and they can also be viewed in the photo gallery on the website. Finally to the bar servers (mainly Derek, Marilyn and Andy) who provided much needed refreshments throughout the day and into the evening.
