Well maybe not quite but
close!!
Sunday September 6th Sports club 10.00 am
A “fabulous “opportunity has
arisen for the Harriers on the above date. Inspired by Wimbledon we have
procured the Calderglen Country Club Tennis Courts Arena on an exclusive basis
for the chance to try out or renew old skills, such as short sprints and hand /
eye co-ordination.
Yes , dust down your old
tennis gear , if you have any, though equipment will be provided on the day and
come along and participate on what is sure to be a few hours of “serious
training”, with possibly a few laughs and giggles thrown in.
We have a bona fide tennis
director in Alan McClellan from the tennis section attending on the day to give
“umpire decisions” on rules and conduct if required, and to spot any budding
talent which he may wish to recruit at the end of the session.
The format will be as close
to a tennis match as we can manage and depending on numbers could include ,
singles , men’s doubles, ladies doubles, mixed doubles, or anything else that
comes to mind to get the ball over the net more than twice in a row.
Requirements on Day.
1. Men – white shirts.
2. Ladies – short skirts.
3. Sense of fun and fair
play.
4. Absolutely no previous
experience is necessary.
We have spoken to few top
players who have agreed to appear and grace us with their presence and
superlative tennis skills.
Top seeds for the men are,
David Searl – admits to having played “x” number of years ago, and
Alison confirms he was good and could beat his sons no bother even though they
were only 8 at the time.
Hugh Simpson - stated he once played doubles against some older
guys and was soundly “cuffed” so he should fit in no bother.
Alan Derrick – remembers (but only just) that he once played when
he was 5 or 6 at a very high level in his back garden.
Top seeds for the ladies are,
Joanne McEvoy – admits to owning her own racquet with a very high
string tension.
Frances Maxwell - had tennis lessons at one stage in her “early” sporting
career.
Sandra Reid – not playing but needs to be mentioned as she was
talked into doing the tea and cakes afterwards.
Anyway all are welcome
regardless of ability so come and have fun and sign up here.

Sorry guys am running my final ultra of the year on the 6th so won't be able to come along.
Gutted I can't make it as my coach (Boris) and I were really looking forward to the Harriers Tennis Tourney, the 'fifth' major of the season.
Davie, the other top seeds have just breathed a sigh of relief as they are now one step closer to the fabulous finals
