A quick interview with Christine about the tournament:
What age do you need to be to take part?
Anywhere from 30 - 100! There are doubles and mixed doubles A and B grade, and an over 120+.
What does it cost?
First you need to be a member of Canterbury Tennis Seniors, or a member of the club that is holding the tournament (unless you are from outside Christchurch). Then the tournament fee is $40 for one day, $45 for two days. This includes morning and afternoon teas, plus a late afternoon BBQ on Saturday.
Why do you enjoy this tournament at Hagley Park?
The atmosphere of 120 people who are involved over the two days is amazing. I've met people from all around New Zealand and played quality tennis.
