25.01.2010 - On December 10 the tennis section held their Christmas lunch and fun day.  A match was held between Santa’s elves and Santa’s reindeer which the reindeer won by a short ant­ler.

The games were followed by a traditional Christmas lunch, catered for fiftysix hungry players, members, guests and supporters, by the fantastic Juan and his team.  Special thanks to Jim Goodman,the team captain, to Maxine Self for her time spent organising the event, to Lorna {Nigella} Hamilton for making the Christmas puddings, bread sauce, stuffing and chipolatas, Lorna and Elaine Holland for wrapping fiftysix Santa gifts and Pam Squires for expertly organising the raffle.  A spe­cial thank you to Santa for making the journey south in the middle of all his prepa­rations.

After a very successful raffle, liqueurs and cof­fee rounded off a great af­ternoon.  Many thanks to Juan and his staff for a ter­rific meal and to Alvoro and family for lending a hand and enabling the event to go ahead.

The captain and commit­tee of the tennis section would like to take this op­portunity to express their gratitude to all their players and social members for all their support and generosity over the past twelve months and wish everybody a happy and successful New Year.
