Saturday 21st November - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We need as many volunteers as possible for our LOVE TENNIS Day (Opening Day Promotion). Its the best opportunity we have to promote our club to the community, and encourage new members to join. The day runs from 10am - 4pm, but don't worry you don't have to be there all day. All we ask is for you to spare 2 hours to help. That would take the pressure off the wonderful organising committee that have spent hours getting this organised for our club.

Message from the President

Hi everyone,

The new season is upon us and we have lots of tennis instore for you all. Our Business House starts next week on Thursday and there is still room for a couple of teams. We haven't had Business House for many years so it is fantastic that this is going again.

Linda James our new club captain put many fun playing opportunities to your committee last night and we are genuinely excited about what will be on offer. From Yankee tournaments to vintage tournaments, Linda is planning one fun club day per month.

Saturday club day tennis. Linda and Robert Scott will be giving each member a grading sticker (on their name tag) . This will help our organizers match players of similar ability for matches and should ensure more fun games. Keep an eye out for your grading sticker.

Fun family Fridays starts next Friday. Please bring yourselves & your children down. We will match the adults up for doubles and take care of the children (with fun activities. There is a small cost involved and this covers the pizzas and prizes.

Lastly, I am absolutely wrapped with our committee. This is a very positive forward thinking group of people!

Lets start playing!

SENIOR INTERCLUB 2021-2022

Hi everyone,

We are wondering who might be interested in these competitions run by Tennis Manawatu.

For the Wednesday competitions, all games will be away and start at 6pm. We would expect teams to car pool and share costs of petrol. Team fees have not been confirmed at this point from Manawatu, but are something like $50. I would assume ball costs will be on top of that, plus travel.

Team formats are below.

The Saturday Senior A is the only competition on the weekend. It’s a team format that can be any gender but 4 players only. We assume the same fees apply plus balls and travel. We would hope that games would be home and away but that is tbc.

Team format is below.

Please email me on deborah.munro1960@gmail.com if you are interested and which option might suit you.

Good hitting everyone,
Deb Munro
