It was only meant to fix Thursdays
Bev has asked me about six times to write this so here it is. Short version: I tried to fix one evening of tennis and it got out of hand.
"Anyone fancy social tennis Thursday 7pm? Courts 3 and 4. First 8 to reply."
That message, or one like it, went out every week at our club for years. And then the noticeboard. Look at the noticeboard.

Thirteen people turned up on a Thursday in March and I had a clipboard, a biro that didn't work, and absolutely no idea what I was doing.
