Please also note that the presentation to the winners and runner-ups will take place on Friday approx 4pm. We shall release courts as the week progresses but it is also very dependent on the weather, if it rains matches will of course have to be moved to the indoor courts. So please keep an eye on MyCourts if you wish to play and are not involved with the tournament. Members hoping for a certain time can set up “cancelled court alerts” on MyCourts and will receive an email when courts are available.
Marj and Gilian will also have their lovely jewellery and Tropic Skincare stalls set up in the bar over the weekend.
