One Hundred and Twelve
Players on the Courts
Since 1985 the ICPA (Isolated Children’s Parent’s
Association) has held their annual tennis day on the first
Sunday in May. For 29 years the day has raised funds to send
delegates to ICPA conference and allowed a fun day of social
interaction for isolated parents and children.
One hundred and twelve players attended the 2014
tournament. “Considering the weather (the day was rather
cool) we could keep warm on the courts,” said ICPA President,
Julie Lawrence, “ and a very enjoyable day was had by all.”
Hay Branch of ICPA was started in 1980, and is one of the
largest branches in NSW. Membership covers all villages and
towns in the area including Jerilderie, Finley, Coleambally,
Booroorban, Deniliquin, Moulamein, Hay, Booligal, Oxley,
Maude, Ivanhoe and Mossgiel.
Winners of the Bore Casing Cup: the ‘Cobb’ Team with
a score of 89 for the day: Margie McClelland, Jill
Chapman, Sue Clancy, Ben Finch, Geoff Chapman,
Katie Sherman, Chris McClelland & Michelle Finch.

Morning and afternoon tea, sausage sizzle and fruit snacks
kept everybody's energy levels up for some furious tennis
matches.
The tennis day is a great way to have fun and
socialise with neighbours.
