Hilton Open Tournament 2009

Hilton Open Tournament October 2009

The annual event was due to be held on October 10th and 11th. On both days we did not expect to play due to the rain - and subsequent wet courts - but as you will see from the photos we persevered - it took a  lot of goodwill and cake to keep everyone around on Sunday - when it rained AFTER we had squeejied  - but then the Himeville stalwarts decided that it was time to play - wet courts or not - with some of us assuming they play in the snow there.

Sandy Butler did an excellent job of organising the event while Gail Slaughter and helpers excelled in the catering.  The usual supper club was held to coincide with the evening meal of the tournament.

While there were not as many entries as last year, the event was still well supported with two mens' sections of equal strength and one ladies' section on Saturday followed by two sections of mixed on Sunday.
