A highly successful American Tournament was held on the last sunny Sunday of the year which achieved the desired objective of stirring into action some members who have been absent from the club for a few weeks and others who may have over-indulged over the Christmas period. Congratulations are due to the winner, Tina Fuselli, who demonstrated that being a full-time squash coach need be no hindrance to successful tennis match play. Three courts were in continuous use and most participants played 6 sets consisting of 7 games. Thanks are due to Keith for conceiving and organising the tournament and to Graham and Liz for their contributions to the festive drinks and snacks that were enjoyed by all afterwards in an appropriate way to conclude a successful year.
