James Hopgood preparing to peel and peg out Brian Cosford's yellow ball, watched by Bob Cross, Marjorie Elliott and Duncan Reeves.  (Remnants of the morning's flooding can be seen in the brown patches on court and puddle in the background.)
Charlotte Townsend runs penult (this is an action shot, and the ball did go through) ...

The final day

Graham Brightwell playing a split shot in his Open game against James Hopgood, watched by Evelyn Mackenzie, Marjorie Elliott and Ruth Goudie.  (Notice the blur on James's red ball.  The exposure time was 1/200 s, so how fast was the ball going?)
The doubles final: Jola, Jamieson, Duncan and James taking their turns to play ...
... and
James's leave after time was called
(with enlarged details showing the balls near the matching corners).
