Lone Star Queenstown Open, 12-13 March 2010


The Lone Star Queenstown Open was held under brilliant blue skies over the weekend of 12-13 March.
A large crowd enjoyed some great tennis and typical QTC hospitality. The margueritas flowed freely and the whole weekend was a huge success. Thanks to Dave Gardiner and Lone Star for their sponsorship of the tournament.


Many thanks to Karen Mitchell, tournament director, who did a great job as always, ably assisted by Mark Milburn. Thanks also to all QTC members who provided refreshments for the kitchen and to those who helped with running the bar/kitchen and other aspects of the weekend.
