Wheelchair Tennis began in the winter of 1979.
We all got together at the tennis courts in Hagley Park, Christchurch – Ross Burgess, who had played it in Australia, and Graham Dorner, a coach who had trialed it in the UK, rounded up the Parafed members to get on court – and suddenly we were all hooked.
