BUNDABERG OPEN
The 2019 Bundy Open will be held on March 30 & 31 so please keep that weekend as free as possible so you can either compete, volunteer some of your time, or just come along and watch the action. This year is a special one as it our 50th anniversary since the Association was formed. We are therefore planning some increased prizemoney for many of the events.

Congratulations to Peter Spratley who was awarded Life Membership of the Association at the recent Annual General Meeting “in recognition of his outstanding record in club and higher competition spanning more than forty years.”
Peter joined the Association in 1972 as a teenager and quickly rose through club ranks, to such an extent that he won his first Bundaberg Closed Mens Singles Championship in 1976. Since that first win, Peter has won another eleven of these titles, along with many others at Bundaberg Closed and Bundaberg Open Championships. He has also won twelve Premier / Division One Winter season premierships, all but one in his trademark Killers team. The first of these was in 1979, the most recent in 2017, but for sure he ain’t finished yet!! Of course, he has also won many other premierships in other seasons throughout the years, rarely having missed a season except a short period when he was working away from Bundaberg.
During his career, Peter has also represented Bundaberg in the former State League, at many Queensland Senior and Veterans Championships, and several times has been a Queensland Veterans representative. At all of these events, he has performed wonderfully and earned the respect of his opponents for his excellent play. His forehand is still a joy to watch for its simplicity, timing and power.
SPECIAL OLYMPICS
Congratulations to the Bundaberg Special Olympics players who competed at the Brisbane tournament recently. Bundaberg had the largest team and had plenty of success. Nick Jefferson won the Division One Singles, with Liam Walsh second, Erin Walsh won Division Two, while newcomers Nathan Curd, Chris Carter and Riaan Bonel came first, second and fourth in Division Four.
In the Doubles, Bundy players were paired with partners from other clubs. Nick again came first in Division One, Erin came third and Liam fourth. In Division Two, Nathan came second, Riaan third and Chris fourth.
This tournament was one of the largest ever held, outside of the 2017 State Games, with twenty-four players coming from five clubs including Mackay.
