The Championships were played over two weekends on the 14th & 15th, and 21st & 22nd March, on the indoor courts at David Lloyd, Cheshire Oaks, Ellesmere Port. The number of entries had increased by nearly 25% compared to last year, and over the course of the four days there were many well contested matches, all played in an excellent spirit. Special thanks go to David Lloyd for hosting the Championships, as well as Referee Brian Carr, and members of the Competitions & Tournaments Committee who were responsible for the smooth running of the tournament.
