3. DLTC MIXED LEAGUE 2013
To try & develop the selection process for this competition it is suggested that proposed partnerships are brought to either Maria’s or my attention. After the large entry for the Mixed Doubles event in the Vets + Graded Tournament this April & the club’s success in the Blue + Gold Competition it demonstrates that there is significant interest in this event. This Mixed competition runs from 5th July 2013....Friday evenings at 7.30 pm. The finals are on the 16th August 2013!! Again, substitutes are usually required as the campaign progresses.
Two teams have been entered this year....one at Class 2 & the other at Class 3.
