The beautiful late summer weather broke just in time for the Chairman's & Malmet weekend, which was forecast to be cold and wet. Happily, most of the heavy rain fell in the night and the lawns coped well, with only a small area of one lawn adversely affected. With a tight handicap range of -1 to 1, all the contestants were potential winners.

The annual match between the SCA and the CA was played over the English August Bank Holiday weekend at the Meadows. There was a change to the format this year as, due to a family bereavement, one of the English team had to drop out at the last moment. Rosemary Saunders Robertson graciously withdrew from our team so we ended up with two 5-man teams which, in turn, created a flow of emails to agree a revised format. The new format consisted of a mix of singles and doubles for the first four rounds and concluded with a round of singles where each member of the team played their opposite number in ranking order.
