This year saw a new venue for the tournament at Wyong RSL Club Tuggerah. The club provided a large well lit area for the event. The amenities included a dining room and bar and seats outside by the tennis courts to relax in between games. A new air conditioning system is in the process of being installed. The club is a 10 min. walk from the railway station.
A warm 30 deg. morning was followed by a lunch of roast meats and 5 vegetables. Hot lunch was followed by a hotter afternoon when the power failed at 2:15 p.m. No lights. No fans. No air conditioning. No electronics at the high table. M.C. Fred Reynolds remained unperturbed and kept us calm and collected by announcing the draws verbally for games 5 and 6. The computer limped along on its emergency battery, finally failing early in Game 6. It looked as if the vital Games 7 was now but a dream. However, power was restored before the end of Game 6 and we gratefully breathed sighs of relief and much cooler air. It says much for the organisers that all games were completed by 5:30 p.m.
Wendy Evans from Newcastle club played in her first tournament and drove her wheelchair with style to win 2 games. She thoroughly enjoyed the day and was an inspiration to all of us.
Many thanks to Helen Young and her team for organising a new venue and to Fred Reynolds and his team for 'overpowering' the fickle moods of Energy Australia.
