AGM - Thursday 30th September

Our AGM is fast approaching and it is very important that you all make it. The AGM date is Thursday September 30th at 6pm. We will be going over our year, advising new membership fees, voting in a new committee, plus lots more. We will also be launching our new logos, website and club playing shirts. 

A great thing to mention is that the majority of the committee (even after three years service ) wish to remain and carry on the great work they are doing.

2021-2022 Memberships

Renewals and new memberships for the 2021-2022 season will be opened online next week. I will send you more information early next week.

Lighting Upgrades

Courts 1 - 7 now have the new LED lights installed. Big thank you to Darryl Thompson for organising this.

Courts 8 & 9 will have their lights changed within the next 2 weeks. They currently have 3 out of 4 lights due to an issue with one of the lighting poles.

Join us tonight at 6pm for tennis, pizza (bring $5) and live music from 6pm to celebrate the new lights.

LOVE TENNIS OPEN DAY

Saturday 21st November from 10am - 4pm

We need as many volunteers as possible for our LOVE TENNIS Day (Opening Day). Its the best opportunity we have to promote our club to the community, and encourage new members to join.  
Please email Steven if you can help, and keep the 21st November free.
