2009 Christmas Dinner

The 2009 Christmas Dinner for Tennis Seniors ACT was held on Thursday 10 December at University House, Balmain Crescent, Acton.  61 members and guest enjoyed a very good meal and pleasant and enjoyable evening.  Pat Moloney briefly summarised the main happenings in the year before announcing 2009 Frank Thornton Player of the Year - Phil Higgs -  and the 2009 George Henshilwood Award Julie Howe.  Following the awards the lucky door prizes were drawn.  The McKay's took home two bottles of wine. The McCluskeys were also dual winners although Gerry (pictured left above) was a little concerned about the pictures on his prize.  Dale Brooker (pictured right with Julie) finally made the podium.  Other winners were Robert Read, Juris Balodis, May Howard, Helen Greenup, Pat Moloney and Julie Howe.

80th Birthdays Dinner

Another small group of 27 people gathered for a delightful lunch on Sunday 5 July at Southern Cross Wests to celebrate the 80th birthdays of Anne Parkinson and Ruth Smalley.  We were trying a new time and day to encourage more members to attend.  However numbers remained small.  Following a few words on Anne and Ruth from John Greenup standing in for our President, Pat Moloney, the gathering sang 'Happy Birthday'  before Anne and Ruth cut their cake.
