Tennis Fun Day
Yesterday there was a "Fun Day" at the Orchard tennis club, which I attended. It was good fun.
There was one stall/game/raffle type thing where a large toy dog was on display and next to it was a large list of possible names for the dog. You pay 50p and choose one of the names, and all the selected names go into a hat and one is picked at random. I won. I chose the name Murdoch which was picked, so I got the dog, a garden bowling set for ages 6 to 8, and a bottle of Malibu, an acoholic beverage. I was worried whilst carrying it home as according to Leslie (see earlier posts), a policeman could have confiscated it and/or poured it away in front of me.
There was also a little machine there which measured how fast your serve is, and mine was measured at 76 mph (miles per hour). My dad's was 70 mph, and Joe just managed to get 77 mph.
The group of us went on the bouncy castle right at the end as most people were going or had gone so we got to stay on for ages and for free.
Grant Shapps also turned up for a bit to officially open the new courts, which are quite nice, and a large group photograph was taken, most likely for the Welwyn & Hatfield Times. We don't buy that newspaper, so I will only see the photo if one of my friends get it.
I was hoping to talk to Grant Shapps for a little bit, but he left before I got an opportunity.
All in all, the day was very good fun.
