Text Box: Finals Day September 2008
  

 

 

A tremendous amount of work goes into finals day before it even starts, much of it falling on the practised and efficient shoulders of Mark.  By the time the day arrived all the preceding matches had been played, the order of play arrived at and the umpires arranged. The weather forecast for the Day was dire, however not just the competitors but a hardy and determined crowd came to support the players chasing the silverware.

  Finals day moved on to the evening event wonderfully and efficiently organised by Suzy with a host of helpers.  
 

   
     
     
  The presentation of the hard won silverware, with bottles of wine for runners up followed the meal.  
     
     
     
     
     
     
  As the evening wore on, tables were pushed back and the dancing started.  
 

   
 

   
     
  The above is a small selection of the excellent pictures I was given.  Do have a look at the whole collection especially if you were there.  You can see more of Steve's pictures in his Flickr album and I have loaded Mike's and some of my pictures into a Picasa album.  To switch from the slideshow to the album, move your mouse to the bottom on the screen and click the "X".  To download a photo, click the photo and select the download button.  These albums may be the future!
