Head Coach Vinny Duddy said the night was a great success and was the first social event of the new year  masterminded by new Social Chairperson Julie Cameron.  As well as organising the evening Julie, along with other club members Lynn O Dell and Jane Sanders cooked and served up some excellent food with the main course being Haggis, Mash Potato and Swede.  Julie thanked the other ladies who helped her with the sweet of Typsy Laird.  Keep an eye out for the next social event at the tennis club which provides good family entertainment at excellent value for money.
