Clear Winner by Kooyong Tennis Club

Fortunately , as The Shadow can move around discreetly he was not embarrassed last Tuesday when he slipped into our usual venue to find it occupied. Outside were a few early bird but perplexed HRC members including  Devereux, and Morrison contemplating how such a double booking could happen. 

To the rescue came the Kooyong staff, and  contrary to the expectations of one senior ex official of that club, all was not lost.   Talk of a lunch and long afternoon at a nearby pub was not on.   Instead in five minutes the tennis club had arranged another room-the majestic "Kooyong Room".  The chef prepared another 30 or so meals. 

Indeed The Shadow understands the meeting was a great success.    Not sure how such an event occurred but one did hear a few and different toned "blame me's" echoing around the foyer.      The Shadow will investigate.
