GUTs Charity Day - Sat 25 September
Carolyn Tuthill reports:
Saturday 25th September dawned reasonably bright after two days of constant rain. In fact the sun shone for us and we were treated to an Indian Summer's day! We had 16 pairs entered for the Charity Doubles, each paying £5 for the privilege of playing to raise funds for G.U.T.S. As we can usually only accomodate 7 teams we had to squeeze in an extra piste to cope with the vast numbers! This made things very cosy with many a shout to "get out of the way", very friendly of course! Competition was fierce, but in the end Lee & Tee (aka Sonia & Carolyn) triumphed with an unbeatable score of 3 wins and + 28! Runners up were our own dear Chairman, Paul and his better half, Melanie, known for the day as Two's Company. Prizes were also awarded to the friendliest team, the team with most room for improvement that is! which was The Merry Wives (Hazel and her daughter Jane).
We were pleased to see David Vanstone who came along with Jean who was partnering Bob Webster (team name V.W.) David took charge of the pound coin game which raised a tidy sum for the charity. Christine Kateley had been up all night with Mike counting out acorns into a Demi Jar, we then all tried to guess the number therein. This was won by David & Hazel's Grandson who went off with a small fortune in prize money!
The raffle was well supported and many of the members who were not able to be present had contributed prizes and bought raffle tickets in advance. Karl & :Linda bought some tickets and won a lovely lavender bush which we hope to see in the garden, Sonia is already planning to take cuttings!
Some interesting items appeared on the bring & buy stall and this too brought in a good sum.
David Lipman went off with all the money - that is he went off to count all the money! He later rang to say we had raised the grand total of £212.54, this sum has been made up to £220 by an anonymous benefactor (aka Mavis!). We will now be sending off a cheque for this amount to the Charity.
Just for interest I am listing the teams who competed as some of the names are quite amusing!
David Lipman and his grandson Rowan - Drowan
Bob & Coral - The Dream Team
Jean & Derek Bonham - The D. J.s
Ingrid & Bobby - B & I
Mike & Christine - The Speedbirds
Peter & Mavis - Smokey Joes
Gill & Alex Myles - Les Petards
Jean Green & Glynn - The Young Ones
Carolyn & Sonia - Lee & Tee
Bob Webster & Jean Vanstone - V.W.
Paul & Melanie - Two's Company
Benny & Margaretha - The Grunters
Tony Fox & Val Esplen - The Wild(life) Bunch
Hazel & Jane - The Merry Wives
Ian & Margaret Fox - Les Renards
John Sylvester & Sue Fox - Sue Vesta
So there you have it - Get your thinking caps on for next year's event. We hope to have another successful Charity day then as we have had for the last several years. Any local charity will be considered.

NDPL - ABC Wasps v Cranleigh PC
Ingrid Richards reports:
On Thursday, 2nd of September the ABC Wasps played their last game in the NDPL against Cranleigh PC.
The team was as follows:
Marie Helene Lopez and George Spiers
Margaretha and Benny Goodman and Tony Fox (we had one extra member as Margaretha was not sure if her back would hold out for three games)
Ingrid Richards and Tony Riches
Marie Helene and George and Ingrid and Tony managed to win their first game. Marie Helene and George won 13-10 and Ingrid and Tony won 13-6. Margaretha played with Tony Fox, but unfortunately, they lost 9-13.
After that, the fortunes changed and we all lost our remaining games. Marie Helene and George lost 7-13, Benny (who took over from Margaretha) and Tony Fox lost 6-13 and Ingrid and Tony Riches lost 10-13. The last game was slightly better, but unfortunately not good enough. Marie Helene and George Spiers lost 10-13, Benny and Tony Fox lost again 6-13 and Ingrid and Tony Riches lost 11-13.
I must say, the result does not reflect the actual playing - all matches were fought very hard.
Thank you to all the team for giving it their all!
