30mm of driving rain did not deter the intrepid doubles players on the first day. Once again the Individual Doubles format, devised by Larry Bryant, proved very popular. In this, everyone plays with four different partners against eight different opponents,
Seasoned competitors and enthusiastic newcomers enjoyed friendly and challenging competition in four Round Robin blocks of advanced play. Ray Vize, Trevor Black and Margaret Leese were the only undefeated singles players.
There were many opportunities for our GC and AC helpers to socialize with the visiting players both during each day and at the two social events: dinner at The Westport Club and sharing sumptuous fare at the awards presentation.
