The dames, Lorraine Nelson, Gwen Jervis, Daphne Atkinson, Margaret Gohl, Conny Martin and Jenny Neyman, played five matches and won Bronze, coming third in their division which was a great achievement.

Each match was about three hours duration so there were some tired but happy ladies by the end of the week.

All the games were doubles and each match was the best of three sets. There were seven games in each match.

The Dusty Dames were the only team out of the 54 competing who had a full accompaniment of spouses - Lloyd Nelson, Peter Elliott, Bill Atkinson, Wayne McKitterick, Peter Martin and Arne Neyman made up the cheer squad.

The teams were in 11 divisions from A1 to D3, depending on ability. The Dusty Dames competed in Division D2 against teams from New Zealand, Cobram inVic, Emerald in Qld and locals from Mooloolaba.
