The
Andorran climate is ideal for year-round outdoor or indoor tennis, and there
are a number of venues where tennis can be played, without necessarily being a
member of a club. Fees on the whole are
reasonable, and this situation makes tennis one of the most enjoyable and
sociable ways of keeping fit.
The objective of the group, which was formed
in 1996, is to provide information for those interested in playing tennis,
including listing of names and telephone numbers of other players with whom
games can be arranged, available tennis venues, and any other tennis related
matters where the group may be of help.
We
have quarterly social tournaments. Everybody plays with everybody against
everybody for mini matches lasting a minimum of time to prevent embarassment for everybody.
Mid
winter warmups watching the Australian open in
amiable surroundings.
Get
to go to the Godo tournament in
Friday
knockup with friends (only during Summer
months). No scoring allowed. Strictly for beginners or old hands who have not
had it in a long time.
It must be made clear that the group only
provides information, and that it is up to individual members to use this
information to arrange their own games.
Until now,
the group has acted solely as an information source, but should any existing or
potential member wish to assist in organising occasional or regular social
tennis meets, tennis tournaments, or co-ordinating group visits to
international tennis tournaments, this, of course, would be welcomed.
There are at present twenty-eight players on
the contact list, available to anyone wishing to contact them for tennis, but
other members are invited to add their names.

Tennis
Group Report 2007
Well, for over a year now I have been threatening to resign and so this is very definitely my last, last report.
Last year was a
continuation of our normal scene. We held less Tournaments yet again.
Our Knock Up with Friends
on Friday continues to be our most popular activity.
We still hold these on
Fridays usually at the Coma Hotel at about 11:00 am.
We charge 2 euros for the 2
hours of tennis which pays for the court hire and balls.
Last year we made a 52 euro
profit for the year which was blown for our
tennis dinner party at the
end of January during the Australian open.
About fifteen people turned
up and we all had a good time.
Di and I are headed off to the Godo
Tournament in Barcelona which starts on the 23rd April.
This year we are going the week earlier to
see the Veterans tournament
and so we hope to see McEnroe as well as the
usual Nadal, Ferrero, Nalbandian etc etc.
As said to start with, I am resigning this
year and would like to thank our tennis playing group
for all the support they have given me and
the group over these last years.
Ken and Carole Webb have very generously
offered to take over the group and
I am sure they will bring new energy and
ideas with their normal tennis enthusiasm.
I will try to help them in any way I can.
Cheers,
Dick
