18 members signed up for the final mixed american tournament of 2025 and competed for the MIxed Doubles Shield and the customary Taittinger champagne.

There was a £2 charge to cover the cost of an appetising spread produced by Liz Dear.

The tournament consisted of mixed doubles matches of 6 games, organised so that where possible each match played was with a different partner against a pair not played before. Players were split into two groups with the highest scoring man and woman from each group going forward to the final. The top lady from the first group pairing the top man from the second group, and the top lady from the second group pairing the top man from the first group.

At the end of the group stage, Linda and Pam were the highest scoring ladies with Phil and Jamie the highest scoring men.

The final was played as a 21 point tie break with Pam and Phil coming out on top beating Linda and Jamie 21-14 to claim the Mixed Doubles Shield and their bottle of Taittinger champagne. Linda and Jamie each received a tube of balls as runners up.

Next years tournaments will be held on Sunday 5th April, Sunday 28th June and Sunday 27th September (ie the first Sunday in April, the last Sunday in June and the last Sunday in September).
