Tournament Sub-Committee Report

Claire Wilson had emailed a report on the Women's Singles, Doubles and Triples competition.

There was no report on the WPA Doubles Competition or the Shooting Competition.

Graeme said that the WPA Senior Doubles Entry Forms will be on the website shortly.

Christine pointed out that the Doubles and Shooting Competition had a close off day and nobody could enter the Doubles Tournament after that date but that some had entered the Shooting Competition on the day.
