Greetings Graftonites:
Incredibly, finally the Summer Champs are over! A special thanks to the Club Champs Committee for going above and beyond the call of duty and organising "the best summer champs ever", to quote Our Leader.
While the Summer Champs may be over, Summer is still very much on. So we hope to see plenty of you down at the Club playing and socialising in the glorious days that now await us:

END OF THE SUMMER CHAMPS
Thanks to everyone who came down the club on Saturday to make this year’s summer champs finals a really special day.
There was some great tennis, some great cakes (a special shout out to the fondant fox) and some great theme tunes acting as a soundtrack to the day. Alex Ward was also put through his paces by a few of Grafton’s finest. And with the sun also playing ball for most of the day, it was a great atmosphere for spectating!
We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for participating, baking, commentating and making this year a truly special one. A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped keep everyone fed and watered on Saturday. And of course a big congratulations to all our 2019 Champions!!!
