Annual General Meeting

Pat Moloney and Gail Jones are not standing for re-election as President and Secre-

tary at the AGM. They consider they have been there long enough and it is time

for someone else to take over the positions and bring in some new thoughts and

ideas into the Committee. Further information can be obtained from Gail. Pat is

currently away on holidays and returning mid-August.

At the time of writing this report the

weather has been perfect for playing

tennis. Anzac Day has come and gone

and it has not turned cold. Maybe there

is climate change! Hopefully we should

be taking advantage of the fine weather

to continue our enjoyment of tennis.

In the last three months our main com-

petition has been the Easter Tourna-

ment, the completion of the popular

Twilight competition and the monthly

Sunday Round Robins. The results and

reports for these competitions are de-

tailed elsewhere in this edition of Vet-

set.

On 15 April we hosted a group of 13

New Zealand tennis players. These

were part of a tennis group who tour

and play tennis in different parts of

Australia each year. This year one of

their stopovers was Canberra. It was a

pleasant social day and I would like to

thank Barbara McCluskey and Gail

Jones for organising the day. Also the

players who came along and played.

That night was a dinner at the South-

ern Cross Club Jamison and the fol-

lowing day a tour of Canberra. All in

all a successful tennis relations gath-

ering.

From 19-24 June TSACT will have

two players competing in the World

Seniors Teams Championships in

Helsinki in Australian teams. TSACT

congratulates Narelle Raftery (W50

Maria Bueno Cup) and Ros Balodis

(W55 Maureen Connelly Cup) on se-

lection in those teams. We wish them

both good luck.

Sadly over the last three months we

have lost five members. All of these

members contributed in their own

PRESIDENT’S REPORT by Pat Moloney

Each year the Tennis ACT Mid Week

Ladies hold a Charity Day Tournament

to raise funds for a nominated charity.

This year it was held on Thursday 5

May for Alzheimer’s Australia ACT.

Barbara McCluskey and Anne Haycock

had finally handed over the reins to

Helen Greenup and her team although

both were there to assist and make sure

things ran smoothly.

More on Alzheimer’s Australia ACT

and dementia can be found on page 2 .

The ladies appear to be able to pick

their days. It was another perfect au-

tumn’s day – sunny and little wind. 53

players, a little lower than previous

years, supported the tournament playing

either ladies, mens or mixed doubles in

a round robin format at Belconnen and

Melba Tennis Clubs. These clubs do-

nated their courts for the morning.

TSACT donated the balls.

Afterwards all the players gathered at

Belconnen Tennis Club for a sausage

sizzle accompanied by a variety of sal-

ads provided by the ladies and washed

down with a glass of wine donated by

Lamberts Vineyards in Wamboin.

Thanks go to the Hawker Butchery for a

very good rate on the sausages and to

Michael Wootton, the Office Manager

at Alzheimer’s Australia ACT for vol-

unteering to cook 140 sausages.

Money was also raised through a raffle

with prizes donated by Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s Australia

ACT and Dementia

Alzheimer’s Australia ACT provides

information, advice, support, advocacy

and education for the thousands of Can-

berrans, their families and carers living

with dementia. Their vision is commit-

ted to the prevention of dementia while

valuing and supporting people living

with dementia.

Dementia is the term used to describe

the symptoms of a large group of ill-

nesses which cause a progressive de-

cline in a person’s functioning. It is a

broad term used to describe a loss of

memory, intellect, rationality, social

skills and physical functioning. There

are many types of dementia including

Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia,

fronto temporal dementia and dementia

with Lewy Bodies. Dementia can hap-

pen to anybody but is more common

after the age of 65.

There are more than 353,800 Austra-

lians living with dementia. Without a

medical breakthrough, the number of

people with dementia is expected to

increase to 400,000 in less than 5 years

and to be almost 900,000 by 2050. De-

mentia is the second leading cause of

death in Australia and there is no cure.

On average symptoms of dementia are

noticed by families three years before a

firm diagnosis is made.

Researchers are currently investigating

a number of aspects of (cont on page 5)

Australia ACT (a patchwork quilt),

Hesta (a coffee maker), Thelma Win-

roe (a silk scarf), Janet Bruce (a bottle

of wine and a voucher from Ricardos

in Jamieson), Lambert’s Vineyards (2

dozen bottles of wine), Merrin Hunter

(framed calligraphy), Ainslie Football

Club ($100 dollars in meal vouchers)

and Lyn Robbins (a bottle of wine).

The winner on the day was Alz-

heimer’s Australia ACT with $1670

being handed over to them. This was

the second year in a row that the la-

dies have raised at least $1600 for a

charity. Well done ladies. A late

donation from Weston Creek Tennis

Club has brought the total to $1935.

Back to the tennis, the winners were

Mixed Doubles Group A (Belc) –

Linda Valente/Neville Rodwell

Mixed Doubles Group B (Belc) –

Lynette Sebbens/Don Masters

Ladies Doubles (Melba) – Maureen

Lancaster/Robyn Bailey

Ladies Doubles Group A (Belc) –

Merrin Hunter/Sandra Roughton

Ladies Doubles Group B (Belc) –

Hilary Harris/Wendy Whitten-Trunz

Mens Doubles (Melba) – Anthony

Connell/Bill Scott.

The major prize winners in the raffle

were Karenn Layne (the patchwork

quilt) and Di Alford (coffee maker).

Charity Day Tournament

way to supporting and helping Tennis

Seniors ACT. One I would like to ac-

knowledge is Mick Doyle for the con-

tributions he made to TSACT and the

assistance in the re-establishment of the

Easter Championships. Tributes to

these members can be found on pages 4

and 5.

Finally I would also like to remind

members our AGM will be held on

Wednesday 7 September at 6:00pm at a

venue to be decided. All positions are

declared vacant so if anyone is inter-

ested in coming onto the committee fur-

ther information can be obtained from

Gail Jones (I will be on holidays). Even

if you don’t want to be on the commit-

tee come along and get a first hand ac-

count of the year and ask questions of

the committee.

Happy tennising.

2016 World Young Seniors Teams and Individual Championships,

The 2016 World Young Seniors Teams

and Individual Championships were

held in Umag in Croatia from 1-14

May. Young Seniors include the 35, 40

and 45 age groups.

In the Teams event held in the first

week, there were 106 teams from 30

countries competing. The Cups were

shared between three European coun-

tries. The Netherlands won the M35

Italia Cup, the M45 Dubler Cup and the

W35 Suzanne Lenglen Cup. Spain won

the W40 Young Cup and W45 Margaret

Court Cup and France won the M40

Tony Trabert Cup.

Australia had teams in the three mens

Cups and a ladies team in the W45.

The teams finished 17th in the M35

Italia Cup, 9th in the M40 Trabert Cup

and the M45 Dubler Cup and 11th in the

W45 Court Cup.

In the Individual events held in the sec-

ond week Australian players had little

success. Kerryn Cyprjen (Qld) reached

the semi-finals of the W45 singles and

the 45 Mixed Doubles with Terry Deeth

(Qld/Ger). Wendy Armstrong (NSW)

reached the semi-final of the W45 Dou-

bles playing with Barbara Seeger from

Germany.

The following article is extracted from

a news item on the ITF Seniors website

‘Umag centrepiece the star of the

Young Seniors show’ written by Clive

White

But the real star of the show here has

always been the venue itself. The

ATP Stadium may not possess the

grandeur of Wimbledon’s Centre

Court, but in terms of small, simple

functional beauty it is without equal.

As it should for any architect worth

his salt, aesthetics came before money

in the late Marijan Videc’s design

because its undulating lines came at a

price: the loss of some 800 seats.

Slavko Rasberger, who was tourna-

ment director here for 20 years from

the stadium’s inception in 1990 at a

cost of 20 million euros, has never for

a moment regretted the loss of revenue.

Videc apparently took the inspiration

for his 3500-seater design from the old

grandstand court at Roland Garros and,

in the words of Rasberger, "made one

better idea".

Rasberger takes pride in the fact that

during the quarter of a century since the

inaugural Croatian Open only two

French Open champions have not

played at the ATP Stadium – Andres

Gomez and Andre Agassi. And in all

that time only two players have won the

title more than once - Thomas Muster,

who won it three times, and Carolos

Moya, who couldn’t seem to let go of

the trophy, winning it five times.

Five of our present and former mem-

bers passed away in the last three

months. These tributes have mainly

been drawn from editions of Vetset.

Michael Myles Doyle

9 August 1939 to 23 April 2016

Michael Doyle, or Mick to his tennis

friends, passed away peacefully on 22

April aged 76.

Mick first joined the

ACT Veterans in

1989 remaining a

member even after he

and his wife Anne

moved to Grenfell in

2008 after 27 years in

Canberra.

Mick joined the Ten-

nis ACT Seniors committee in 2000 and

was a member of the Grading Sub-

committee for several years until their

move to Grenfell.

He was Tournament Director for the

Easter Tournament for 8 years prior to

the move to Grenfell. He was still keen

on the job and returned for another

year. He was still seen around the tour-

nament after then as Anne continued to

work with Betty Smith at the 'Betty

Anne Banquet' catering for the players

at Easter until the tournament moved

back to Lyneham in 2014.

Mick played in ACT teams in the Aus-

tralian Teams Carnival commencing in

1991 in Newcastle as captain of a 50's

team with Charles Griffith and Peter

Johnston. He then played nearly every

year until the 2015 Carnival in Can-

berra when he was in a 75's team with

Robert Read, Norman Clements, Ralph

Peters, Colin Power and David Burke.

It was a tough week for this team as

they lost Ralph through injury in the

morning and Robert in the afternoon on

the first day.

Mick did taste success in 2012 in Perth

in a 70's team with David Coutts, Les

Tributes

Tanzer (Qld), Cedric Hubbert (Qld),

David Burke and Colin Power - photo

in the previous column left to right

with Mick first. This meant a lot to

Mick after many years of trying.

Mick also played in a number of the

Australian Individual Championships.

Prior to becoming Tournament Direc-

tor of the Easter Tournament, Mick

was a regular participant. He also

assisted in the organisation of the din-

ner dances at Easter. Over the years,

he supported the Twilight Pennants

and Thursday Tournaments as well as

being seen at a number of country

tournaments. He and Anne were also

regulars at our dinners.

Mick was always happy to provide

assistance when needed. When the

ACT hosted the Australian Tennis

Seniors Championships back in 2002

Mick had the responsibility for the

hiring and arrangement of the re-

quired number of courts for the

Championships.

As Pat Moloney said during the fu-

neral service, "Mick was a likeable

character, pleasant and relaxed but

could also call a spade a spade if he

thought it was needed. Mick was al-

ways an active supporter of seniors

tennis and could be relied upon when-

ever help and assistance was needed."

Brian Hurlston McKay

18 September 1934 to 3 April 2016

Brian McKay passed away on 3 April

aged 81 after a long illness. Brian

first joined the ACT Veterans in 1993.

He was only

awarded his

OBE in

2014 at the

80 th birth-

days lunch.

A t t h i s

l u n c h ,

R o b e r t

Hether ing-

ton com-

mented that "although Brian is blunt

and straight forward he is popular and

I've never heard anyone be critical of

him." Bob also went on to say "I ad-

mire Brian in that he never com-

plained about his physical trials that

must have frustrated such an active

and capable lover of sport."

Brian played in a number of ACT

teams in the Australian Teams Carni-

val. He first played in a 60s team in

Adelaide in 1994 with Peter Burden,

Fred Bennett, Matt Dwyer and Doug

Taylor. There was then a gap until

2001 when he played in another 60s

team in Hobart with Chris Norwood

and Jack Fahy.

His last Teams Carnival was in 2006 in

Christchurch in a combined 70s ACT/

Queensland team with Neil Hendy. Un-

fortunately deteriorating eyesight af-

fected the standard of his play in later

years.

Brian was a regular at our dinners with

his wife Heather. He was often seen at

country tournaments such as Merimbula

as well social tennis around Canberra.

Brian was also a very good squash

player.

Brian Ward

5 November 1942 to 17 March 2016

Brian Ward passed away on 17 March

aged 73. Brian first joined the ACT

Veterans in the mid 1980's with the last

record of his membership being 2011.

By this time Brian had developed de-

mentia and was unable to continue

playing.

Brian played in

twilight pen-

nants and a

number of ACT

teams in the

A u s t r a l i a n

Teams Carni-

val. His first

Carnival was in

Brisbane in

1989 in a 45 years team with Charles

Griffith, Col Power and Ray White.

Over the years he played in teams in

Newcastle (1991), Melbourne (1992),

Adelaide (1994, 2000), Canberra

(1995), Gold Coast (1997), Albury/

Wodonga (1999, 2008) and Perth

(2007).

His final Team Carnival was in Ade-

laide in 2009 in the 65's team with

David Coutts, Col Power, Pat Moloney,

David Sprott and Peter Breugelmans -

left to right below. (cont next page)

Page 5

Tributes (cont from page 4)

This team finally gave Brian success

winning against their ongoing rivals

WA. David Coutts, the team captain at

the time said I know that the win meant

a great deal to Brian and Cheryl, his

wife, as Brian was clearly failing at the

time.

James (Jim) Gunning

7 April 1918 to 11 March 2016

Jim Gunning passed away peacefully on

11 March aged 97. Jim was one of our

early members found on a membership

list in a 1980 edition of Vetset.

He remained a

member until the

late 1990's and

could still be seen

as one of the retired

players group at

Tomato and Mulled

Wine Days organ-

ised in connection

with Thursday Tournaments. Jim

played in the Thursday Tournaments

over the years as well as often being

seen with his wife Joan at the various

dinners. We understand that after he

retired in 1978 from the PMG (Telstra)

he was on the court 5 days a week.

He played in ACT teams in 1987 and

1995 when the Teams Carnival was

held in Canberra. The 1987 team was a

65s team with Harry Gibbs, Dan Gow-

ing and Gordon Handsaker. The 1995

team was a 75s with Ken Sharp, Frank

Kornfeld, Ron Thompson and Ron Wil-

kinson.

Jim was also a member of Turner

Tennis Club playing a number of

years of pennant tennis and was often

seen at the club with his family. He

was very much a family man and al-

ways put his family first.

Gwendolyne Grace Sankey (Weir)

15 May 1937 to 22 February 2016

Gwen Weir, as most of us knew her,

passed away on 22 February aged 78.

Gwen was an active playing member

joining in the early 1980s and playing

in her first Teams Carnival in 1982 in

Sydney. The weather was apparently

pretty hot with a report in the March

1982 Vetset that "....some of our la-

dies, to wit Bonnie and Gwen, were

seen bathing at Ramsgate attired in

full tennis gear apart from tracksuits."

Gwen went on to play for the ACT in

Teams Carnivals in New Zealand,

Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane,

Melbourne and Canberra. Her last

Carnival was in Canberra in 1995 in

the 55+(2) team with Jan Aubrey,

Jane Johnson, Kate Lorimer and Pam

Bycroft. Gwen later moved to Queen-

sland.

Gwen was also regularly seen in the

ACT Senior Resident and Easter

Championships as well as tourna-

ments outside the ACT such as the

Gold Coast, Mildura, Wollongong,

Gloucester and Grenfell. This was

when she was not playing pennant for

Red Hill.

Visitors from New Zealand

A group of 13 tennis players from the

South Island of New Zealand came to

Canberra arriving on Thursday 14 April

from Albury staying until Sunday 17

April. The group was on an organised

visit which started in Melbourne and

ended in Canberra.

A number of our members joined the

group for a day's social tennis on Friday

15 April on the clay courts at the Can-

berra Tennis Centre, Lyneham. The

day started at 10am with morning tea -

a mix of slices prepared by our slice

experts. This was followed by some

quite competitive sets of tennis with our

members mixing with the visitors. As a

bonus Nick Kyrgios and Lleyton Hewitt

were on hand practicing so players

could pick up a few tips.

Barbara McCluskey sweated over the

hot barbeque to cook up some sausages

and onion to go with the variety of sal-

ads brought along by our players for

lunch. Our President, Pat Moloney was

presented with a plaque as a memento

of the visit. Each NZ player and their

bus driver were given some mementos

of Canberra to take with them.

At this stage a number of our players

had appointments or were feeling a few

ache and pains and had to leave. How-

ever there was no stopping the NZ play-

ers who were back on the courts with a

handful of our members. They were

very complimentary of the clay courts.

On Friday night some of our members

joined the NZ visitors at the Southern

Cross Club at Jamieson for dinner.

Then on Saturday Pat with John

Greenup assisting took our visitors on a

guided tour of Canberra. Our President

was very impressive as a first time tour

guide. I think he missed his profession.

The visitors were due to fly out of Can-

berra Sunday lunchtime after visiting

the Australian War Memorial.

dementia. There is still much to learn

about the possible causes of dementia,

including Alzheimer's disease - the

most common form of dementia. De-

veloping better and more accurate

methods of diagnosis is an important

research focus. Currently there is no

single test that can accurately diagnose

dementia. Research into quality de-

mentia care and the best ways of sup-

porting carers provides important in-

sights into improving quality of life of

people with dementia, their families and

carers.

There is currently no medication that

modifies or slows the progression of

Alzheimer’s disease or other kinds of

dementia. Available medications may

reduce symptoms and improve quality

of life in some people, but they do not

stop the progress of the disease.

There is good evidence for dementia

risk reduction through changed life-

style and behaviours but the evidence

base needs to be further developed

and the interaction between lifestyle

and genetic factors better understood.

How Embarassing

After having a nice meal at a Canberra

club you go and have a coffee with your

fellow committee members and part-

ners. Just as the coffee and desserts are

about to come your President is asked

to leave the club as he is dressed inap-

propriately.

ACT Seniors Championships (Easter) by Pat Moloney

The 46th ACT Open Seniors Tennis

Championship was successfully held

over the Easter weekend (25-28 March)

with four days of good weather. Friday

morning was a bit drizzly at the start

but soon fined up. Fortunately there

was no more rain for the tournament.

After last year’s successful tournament

where a number of highly ranked play-

ers attended, the ITF upgraded our

Easter Tournament to a Grade 2. This

may have resulted in the increase of

entries, particularly the men. The

higher grading means players receiving

more international ranking points.

This year was the second year the

Championships were held at Lyneham

as a claycourt championship. In con-

trast to last year when only one block of

the old clay courts had been converted

to the new Italian clay, this year the

second block had been converted.

The clay played well with one player

who plays internationally saying it was

the best clay courts he had played on.

The good clay courts should now be an

attraction for players to compete before

going overseas, in particular the Austra-

lian representatives.

The tournament attracted 165 entries,

35 more than last year. In the IPIN

events the field included 28 past and

present Australian representatives. Al-

though there were only 15 women 12 of

them were past and present Australian

team representatives and so provided

some strong and competitive tennis.

Entries for Easter over the last few

years have been adversely affected by

having the Oceania, World Seniors and

Young Seniors Championships around

or close to the date. However it seems

the higher grade and the good clay-

courts attracted the players this year.

Hopefully it will continue.

The tournament is essentially in two

groups – the IPIN group and the non-

IPIN group. The trend over the last few

years is that our local players tend to

play the non-IPIN events. The format

of the non-IPIN events has the advan-

tage of allowing the players to play

particular events on particular days.

In the IPIN events ACT players per-

formed well with winners being Neville

Rodwell – 65 singles and 65 doubles

with John Stark; Phil Higgs and Pat

Moloney – 70 doubles; Helen Hol-

combe – 60 doubles. Runner ups were

Phil Higgs – 70 singles; Colin Hol-

gate – 60 doubles; Tim Harris – 55

doubles; Helen Holcombe – 65

mixed; Narelle Raftery – 45 mixed.

The IPIN events provided some inter-

esting highlights. Of the 9 mens’ sin-

gles events 6 No1 seeds and 3 No 2

seeds won the events. The doubles

and mixed events provided many

good and close matches.

A number of players returned to de-

fend their titles won last year. Justin

Woodwood followed up last years’

mens’ 35 singles win by winning the

40 singles this year. The mens’ 70

singles had the same result as last year

with Ian Davis defeating Phil Higgs in

the final.

Isabelle Gemmel returned and won

the singles again this year (she obvi-

ously likes the clay). Isabelle also

won the mixed. The womens 60 sin-

gles was a very close round robin

event with Rosemary Davis winning

on a countback. Helen Worland also

retained her 65/70 singles title.

There were 14 non-IPIN events (11

last year). Nine of these events were

won by ACT players and five runner-

ups by ACT players. It's good to see

participation and success from ACT

players. All the tournament winners

and runners-up are listed on page 7.

An added attraction to this years’

tournament was the last three days of

a Women’s International Pro Tour

tournament. Our senior players were

entertained watching the girls play

their matches. There were plenty of

comments on how fit they were and

how hard they hit the balls.

ACT players did well in the raffle again

this year. First prize of the tennis rac-

quet went to Margaret Harrigan. Other

prize winners were David Green (tennis

bag), Terry McLean (gift voucher),

Narelle Raftery (wine), Linda Arm-

strong (wine), Gabby Triffitt (Easter

eggs) and Liz Kerr (wine).

We did well with sponsors and our

thanks for their generosity in donating

the prizes go to U&Co at Kaleen for

wine and gift voucher, Superbarn Ka-

leen for wine and Leisure Link for the

racquet and tennis bag.

On the Saturday night an informal din-

ner was held at the Southern Cross Club

Jamison where approximately 40 play-

ers and friends turned up and had an

enjoyable meal and evening.

Our thanks and gratitude are extended

to all those people who assisted us prior

to and during the Tournament. In par-

ticular Gail Jones who continues to do a

great job as Tournament Secretary in

accepting and recording entries and

assisting in the management of the tour-

nament.

Also to Anne Haycock who volunteered

to help and ended up putting in full

days chasing up players and directing

them to their courts, Barbara

McCluskey for successfully selling raf-

fle tickets, Graham Smith our barman

and Peter Breugelmans for obtaining

money from players. Mark Crawley

was our White Badge Referee (an ITF

requirement). Mark has been our refe-

ree for a few years now and does a very

good job in refereeing and administrat-

ing the tournament.

All in all another successful Easter

weekend.

Sunday Round Robins by Warren Muller Twilight Pennant

The finals of the 2015/16 Twilight Pen-

nant were played on 9 March between

teams Ainsworth and Hunt. In what

would be seen as an upset the second

placed Ainsworth proved too good for

Hunt on the night.

Team Ainsworth came out of the blocks

firing winning the first 4 sets. Cameron

Steele and Kerry Scarlett defeated Greg

George and Greg Hunt 6/2 6/2 while

Graeme and Leonie Ainsworth defeated

John Chaloner and Robert Pragt 6/3 6/2

After the changeover, Cameron and

Kerry won the first set from Robert and

John 6/4 to give them the match. On

the other court the two Gregs won their

first set from Graeme and Leonie 6/2.

As the weather was very hot and the

match had been decided all players re-

treated to the esky for drinks. Prizes

were presented with all players receiv-

ing either a wine glass engraved with

“Winner” or “Runner up”.

All players had a choice of a $25 food

voucher from U&Co Café at Kaleen

(provided by U&Co Cafe) or a 1.5 litre

bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon supplied

by Superbarn Express in Kaleen.

The final points score after round 10 are

commitment outside Canberra.

Maybe we will see him in May.

Again we welcomed some new play-

ers to the tournament, Rosa Cotta,

Don Masters and Richard Rowe.

The 14 players were divided into two

groups of 7 within the draw, with one

player having a bye from each group

at each round. So with only some

players having a bye, winners were

determined on averages of games won

in 4 or 5 sets.

Having taken second prize in March,

Anthony Johnston was determined to

go one better and took out the major

prize with an average of 5.6, slicing

through the opposition. Linda

Valente also backed up for a good

performance and sneaked into second

place with 5.0. Closely following her

were Alejandro Pacheco, May How-

ard and Bill Scott on 4.8. With one

less game Linda would have dropped

to 5th!

The next round robin was to be on 15

May on the artificial grass courts at

Lyneham. With no school holidays or

diplomatic tournaments to get in the

way, we thought we would improve

on the 14 in April tournament. The

big question was whether Colin’s

busy social calendar will let him

squeeze in a seniors round robin.

Unfortunately the tournament sched-

uled for 15 May had to be cancelled

due to lack of numbers.

The next tournament is scheduled for

19 June at the Belconnen Tennis

Club.

On a warm but windy morning 13 play-

ers gathered at Weston Creek on 20

March for a morning of tennis. There

could have been more but there were

two injury withdrawals in the last 24

hours (1 hamstring and 1 knee) and our

tournament unfortunately coincided

with the diplomatic tournament.

So while some of the regulars were

diplomatically absent, including co-

organiser Colin Lyons, the rest of us

had a great morning’s tennis. The wind

even dropped as the morning pro-

gressed. Welcome to first timer Helen

Nealer and to Don Fraser for only his

second appearance. Also Merle and

David Coutts played after some years’

absence.

With 13 players some had a bye, so the

winners were determined on averages

of games won in 4 or 5 sets. David

Coutts was the runaway winner on an

average of 6.4, followed by Anthony

Johnston on 5.2 in 2nd place and Linda

Valente 3rd on 4.8. Close behind, just

missing a prize, was Joanne Adams on

4.75.

Anthony Johnston told us he will be

heading to Magnetic Island for the win-

ter; I guess someone has to do it. He

made us jealous by describing this idyl-

lic location.

Despite it being the first weekend of the

school holidays, 14 enthusiastic players

returned to Weston Creek on 10 April

for a great morning of tennis in ideal

conditions.

Our co-organiser Colin Lyons was

again absent, but this time it was not for

a diplomatic tournament but a social

Senior Tennis Tournament Results

These Championships are arguably the

most prestigious seniors tennis event on

the Oceania calendar with ranking

points second only to the Grade A

World Seniors Championships. This

event was again hosted by Tennis Sen-

iors Australia. It was held from 11-14

March and based on the clay courts at

the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club in Mel-

bourne.

Now in its third year the tournament

was open to players from all countries.

The number of players entering rose to

265 from 230 in 2015 resulting in a

number of extra venues being used.

Five players from Canberra - Ros Ba-

lodis, Phil Higgs, Colin Holgate,

Neville Rodwell and John Stark -

played in the Championships. Ros

and Colin made the winning circle.

Ros won the 55 womens singles and

the 55 womens doubles with Leanne

Swaysland (NSW) but couldn't pull of

the triple crown losing the final of the

55 mixed doubles with James Coulson

(Vic). Colin had success in the 60

mixed doubles winning the title with

Sara Goddard (NSW).

Phil and his partner Don Biddle

(NSW) reached the final of the 70

mens doubles before losing to Hayden

Rees and Terry Smith from Victoria

in straight sets. John and Phil made

the quarter finals in the 65 and 70

mens singles.

2016 Jumbo Oceania Senior Regional Championships

A big contingent of Canberra players

converged on Narooma for the second

Seniors Doubles Tournament held on

12-13 March. The tournament was very

well organised and managed by Brian

Carmichael and a hardworking group of

men and women in the kitchen and in

the running of the tournament more

generally. I understand that numbers in

the mid 80’s were received.

It was particularly humid, even though

there was no rain over the weekend.

The tennis centre has a very attractive

setting with thickly vegetated hills lo-

cated close by. Quite a few visitors

took the opportunity to enjoy the brac-

ing surf between and after their events.

The water temperature had reportedly

dropped sharply in the last week but it

was still most refreshing. The clubs

and restaurants returned good trading

figures over the weekend from all the

tennis visitors.

A number of events were combined to

facilitate adequate numbers of pairs in

the respective events. The winners and

runners-up are shown below, with age

intervals given where known by the

writer.

West Wyalong Teams Betty Smith

The West Wyalong Teams Tournament

was held on the Canberra Day long

weekend this year (12-13 March) which

was a shame as it clashed with the

Narooma tournament.

Marilyn Walter and Betty Smith teamed

up with Gail Windsor (Bathurst) and

Pam Crawford (Tumut ) to form Team

Tumut. The team played in the Division

one section against teams from Colla-

roy, Goulburn and West Wyalong.

Valerie Gavin and Margie Sellwood

recruited Sue Willis and they headed

west hoping the organiser could find

them a fourth player. Lucky for them

the organiser’s wife Pat Woods was

thrilled to join their team - team photo

below. They had a great time playing

against Pat’s family and friends in the

West Wyalong teams.

Luck for this team continued scoring

the bye over the hot lunchtime session

on Saturday. Sue was too enthusiastic

to leave the courts and stayed to watch

the tennis but Valerie and Margie

thought they would retreat to some-

where air-conditioned as the tempera-

ture for the day was climbing to 37oC.

When we asked about the heat rule the

locals replied innocently that we should

just drink more water and stand near the

big fan that was blowing a mist of wa-

ter. That did help a little!. We man-

aged to get through the day and headed

back to the motel for a long soak in the

pool before heading out for dinner.

Conditions on Sunday were the same as

Saturday. The temperature steadily

climbed to 37oC again. The captain of

Team Tumut announced that they were

in a commanding lead and therefore

didn’t need to play the last match.

Other sun affected players quickly

agreed that play could cease and so at

2pm results were made official and Tu-

mut were declared the winners.

Meanwhile the ladies in Division 2 also

had a result with Valerie’s team being

in a commanding lead from Forbes and

the West Wyalong teams and so they

were able to come in out of the heat.

The weather was very hot but we man-

aged and had great tennis and as usual

caught up with friends and had a great

weekend away.

The Milton-Ulladulla 18th Annual Sen-

iors Tournament was played two weeks

later than in past years on 19-21 Febru-

ary to avoid the clash with the swim-

ming carnivals next door. It was great

just driving into the car park and find-

ing a place rather than parking in one of

the side streets. The later date did not

affect numbers with again a large con-

tingent of players from Canberra and

district heading down to the coast. The

large entry again resulted in entries

closing early and players missing out on

their events.

There was also a new Tournament Di-

rector, a very cheerful and bubbly Mary

Lou Barclay. Mary Lou did a great job

with some guidance from the very ex-

perienced Val Crook. It was pleasing to

see Val on the court for a change. Even

the weather did not dampen Mary Lou's

spirit. Again the hospitality and hard

work of the Ulladulla members and

volunteers should not be forgotten.

There was a range of weather over the

three days. Friday saw very hot and

humid conditions for the singles. A

number of players were unable to com-

plete their final sets due to heat related

problems. A change overnight brought

showery and cooler conditions for Sat-

urday. The ladies and mens doubles

started on time but players were playing

through the showers to complete events.

In the afternoon only three mixed dou-

bles events were completed before play

was washed out.

On Sunday players arrived at Ulladulla

courts to find volunteers working hard

with the super soppers. Play began two

hours late at 10am. Milton courts fared

a little better with play starting at

8.30am. The weather remained

mainly fine for the rest of the day.

However the afternoon mixed events

were cancelled as time was running

out.

Our members featured prominently

amongst the winners and runners up.

It was good to see players sharing the

winnings. A good example was

Wendy Taylor and Nancy Lane win-

ning the ladies 70 doubles from Jan

Aubrey and Pauline Honeyman with

the result being reversed the next day

in the ladies combined age 140 dou-

bles.

sort

team fared well winning two of its first

3 matches before going into the play off

with the 3 other top teams in the divi-

sion. Tim found being tall on grass

courts is a disadvantage pulling up sore

all over after 3 days of getting down to

low and sometimes non bouncing balls.

However he has booked in for next year

- along with Monty who soon made

himself at home around the courts,

making many friends.

Don Masters again teamed up with

some old cronies to play for the 'Valley

Villains' in the 65-70+. He had a very

successful carnival with his team finish-

ing second after a count-back as the last

round was not completed.

The dates for 2017 are 20-22 May. Any

ACT players interested in making the

trip to Berri should contact John, Helen,

Pat or Gail as it would be good to have

teams from Canberra.

The Berri SA Seniors Teams Carnival

held from 14-16 May was in its 29th

year. There were 99 teams (95 in 2014

and 2015) and over 500 players a re-

markable consistency - they just can't

break the 100. There was an increase in

both womens and mens teams with the

women continuing to out number the

men - 53 to 46. Most of the players

were from South Australia. Victoria is

growing in numbers. Despite our Presi-

dent, Pat, flying off to Ireland the ACT

was well represented with 6 players.

Matches are played on natural grass at

four venues - Berri, Barmera, Loxton

and Renmark. All grades are catered

for with mens and ladies teams in either

an age group or the open event.

The weather for the three days is nor-

mally sunny with temperatures in the

low to mid twenties with some cloud

and little wind. This was the case for

the first two days. However the last

rounds on Monday afternoon were

disrupted by rain.

With the Greenups back from over-

seas, Helen captained the 'Happy

Wanderers' in the womens 65+ and

was joined by Gail Jones and Rosa

Cotta from Canberra, Pam Fabian

from Adelaide and Rena Alves from

Melbourne. They found adapting to

the grass this year 'challenging'.

Some of the courts were softer than

normal. They had some tight sets but

only managed one win overall.

John formed a 'Mixed Ages' team (or

a mixed up team as one member sug-

gested) with Tim Harris, George Pen-

ney from NSW/Victoria, Mike Hors-

man, our local contact, and Ron Habel

from Shepparton. The team ended up

in the 40, 45, 50+ division one, the

first group after the 'open' group. The
