These matches took place over four events mens singles with 10 entries, ladies doubles with 6 pairings, mens doubles with 12 pairings and an impressive 13 mixed pairings competing for the mixed title which was closely contested by Scott Webber and Wendy Higgins against Dave Edgar and Emily Staples (17-21 21-12 21-12).
