7 September 2025 LOVE Tennis

What a special day LOVE TENNIS was, where clubs came together from all over NZ and invited their communities to try the game of tennis!!!  Mairangi Bay had a great team of supporters helping run this day. Big shout out to Nathan Agethen for organising this event with massive support from Mayuko Takahashi. Head coach Blair O’Brien ran the coaching on the courts & committee members Sam, Paul & Louise all chipped in with skills on the BBQ and/or helping out with people wanting to have a hit on the court. Glen managed to gain sponsorship from Woolworths Mairangi Bay. They kindly donated a $100 Woolworth’s voucher to our club. This allowed us to buy the bangers & onions for the BBQ. This is a massive day to organise so we are very grateful for the whole team including too, lots of members that helped on the day to ensure it all ran smoothly and with great success. To all members who contributed, a big thank YOU!!!!

Calimero Pizza Mairangi Bay generously provided 10x Pizza vouchers (free of charge) to be used as prizes. We placed 10 new pizza boxes on the court as a challenge to hit the target on the court! This challenge stepped up a notch when the wind came up and made them into moving targets!!!
