A cool, dry morning gave ideal conditions for the start of this year’s tournament. After a morning of hard-fought tennis around the three villages, everyone congregated at Brook House to watch Liz Maycock and Alan Moug defeat Jax Jarvis and Alex Poignant in the final.
The players and friends and family then enjoyed a delicious potluck lunch, with an unplanned but very tasty Mediterranean theme.
We were particularly pleased to welcome five new faces to the tournament, including finalist Alex. Other newcomers included two players who have recently dusted off their rackets after a lay-off of more than two decades.
Several spectators want to be part of next year’s tournament and some have already started practising.
Thank you to everyone who took part, lent a court, helped organise and set up. And to Jonathan and Nicole Stolerman for hosting the lunch and George Monk for the photograph of the winners.
Two days of August Bank Holiday festivities of family fun, delicious food, live music, sports games, the famous tug of war into the river and much, much more!

For messing about on the river
If you take my advice there’s nothing so nice
As messing about on the river.”
Join us on Saturday at The Hall on 16th August for a Giles Shenton open-air Performance of “Three Men In A Boat”, adapted from the classic book by Jerome K. Jerome.
Giles Shenton expertly takes the helm and pilots you through the ridiculous and hilarious tale of men (and a dog!) behaving badly while messing about in boats on the Thames…
Weather permitting, the show will take place outside making the most of our lovely setting and some good August weather (fingers crossed, but indoors if wet).
Arrive from 5:00pm, show starts 6:00pm, finish approx 8:00pm.
The Hall Bar will be open from 5:00 pm and during the interval, for drinks, coffees and ice-cream as well as post-show to extend the evening.

See message of thanks below from Lois Dudfield, co-chair of the Cherington and Stourton Show Committee:
‘We would like to thank each & everyone one of you who attended, members of the public, setting up & breaking down helpers, poster & flyer deliverers, stall holders, class entrants & most of all The Cherington & Stourton Show team, without this fabulous group of people the show would simply not take place, the effort that goes on behind the scenes each year is incredible.
Please do keep an ear out for our AGM date, as your feedback is crucial & we also love to hear what you think.
For now, thank you again, until next year – Over & Out’.
Due to low uptake of stall holders because of holidays, village fetes etc. the Farmers’ Market organisers have decided to cancel the August market.
The next one will be held as usual on September 4th from 6 – 8pm.
