At 5.30pm on Saturday evening local residents reported seeing vampires, werewolves, skeletons, witches and even a dinosaur! Little did they know it was the KLTC Halloween party.
Our juniors surpassed themselves this year with some spectacular costumes and it was wonderful to see so many of them joining in the fun.
The highlight of the evening had to be watching Team Matt v Team Dave wrapping each of the coaches up as mummies. Pete Wayborn cast the deciding vote which saw Team Dave win by a very small margin. I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves most, Matt, Dave or the kids.
Finally, a big thanks goes to all those involved, Sarah (whose cupcakes wend down a storm), Sue, Matt, Dave and not forgetting the clean up team, Pete and Karen.

The tournament began under a dark sky and gentle rain, until suddenly the sun came out and the tournament erupted into life. Six junior members turned up along with some senior members from another section of the club – the joining together of separate sections of the club epitomises the rationale of the tournament. The idea is to get different sections of the club to get together and play tennis!
All matches were closely contested. Pete Wayborn, our most senior playing member on the day, played with Faye Green our most junior member on the day and did really well in their group, but going forward into the semi finals were:
Laura and Daniel Green v Pete Evans and Sian
Emily and Karen S v Matt and Carol
Spectators viewed wonderful, hard fought matches culminating in a final of:
Emily and Karen S v Pete E and Sian
After a very exciting final Pete E and Sian were victorious.
The overall sense of different generations playing together and enjoying the game is the essence of the Geoff Douglas Generation Cup Tournament.
Thanks to everyone for coming and for a delicious tea.
Cynthia Douglas
