Every Thursday morning throughout the year, except on rainy days, of which there have been many of late, 16 ladies brave the cold, the wind, and or the sun, for an hour of tennis at the Martinborough Tennis Club courts. The standard is exceptional, considering the average age is in the 70’s, with 3 octogenarians at the upper end. Everyone may be bulked out by extra layers of clothes, hats, gloves, and scarves at this time of year, but that doesn’t affect the skill level. It just adds to the excuses!
Laughter is good for the soul, and there’s plenty of that. And coffee afterwards together is a great way to finish the morning.
This month we celebrated our latest 80th birthday with a morning tea and cake in the clubrooms between rounds, for Robyn Blackett.
If anyone is interested in joining the group for a game on a Thursday ring Jenny Wilkie on 306 9790.
