]]>Twenty club members took part in the handicap tournament, with members being paired up by random selection for four rounds of doubles, with new pairings being selected after each round.
The handicappers then announced that Penny McGarry, Mark Bogle, David Stark and Sue Wesley had topped the table, and thus they contested the final. Penny and Mark prevailed in a good-humoured match played using old-style table tennis scoring.
Thanks to all the participants, and to the committee members who ran the tournament and organised the food. Thanks also to Hell Pizza, Liquorland on the Strand, and Vodafone Tennis Park, who donated the prizes.
