Mel (aka Mel with an e),

Thank you for the post about the State Championships.

Congratulations to all medal winners. Well done.

I did not win a medal. I won in other ways:

I had the pleasure of playing with my partners Anne and David. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of meeting and playing against people keen to play pickleball. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of watching games involving my fellow competitors. Many of the games were close, spectacular, and entertaining to watch. Thank you.

I noticed many volunteers with their clipboards and I saw some of what you did. I’m sure you did a lot of unseen work both before and at the weekend. You helped make the State Championships successful. Thank you.
