June 9 – After a Saturday rainout, the Perth Tay Tennis Club held their traditional season-opening tennis tournament on Sunday. The tournament was cancelled last year because two of Perth’s Conlon Farm Recreation Complex tennis courts were under reconstruction. This year the tournament was held on the two old courts and the two new courts. The court surfaces are different enough to challenge the players as they move from one type to another.
Twenty-three members, including one new member, enjoyed perfect weather, playing 7 rounds of competition. Paul Anderson arranged the order of competition and everyone was declared a winner.

The club provided drinks and food for a picnic lunch thanks to the efforts of Social Chairman Heide Gibbs with assistance from Pam Anderson and Barb Clement.
