Town Walls Triathlon
This competition has been devised by Town Walls Member, Barbara Edwards and it comprises a series of tennis competitions, a croquet challenge and a table tennis competition. It is a fun event with many us new to the game of croquet and quite a few of us not exactly terrific on the table tennis scene but it was great to have a go. There were three teams of around a core of eight people. Not everyone could atttend all the events so we all mixed in to make up the teams. It was all brilliantly organised by Barbara who sorted us all out, did excellent orders of play and..... afternoon tea. She also arranged for us to play at the Shrewsbury Croquet Club Lawns where she expertly and quickly explained the rules and aims of the game of which most of us were completely ignorant. She also hosted the table tennis challenge in the barn at her farm at Lower Cound.
Town Walls Tennis Club would like to officially thank the Shrewbury Croquet Club at Monkmoor and George and Barbara Edwards for hosting us at Lower Cound Farm. This is the second year Barbara has organised this tournament for the club and we all enjoyed it so much we are hoping to persuade her to do it as a regular event.
