President’s report
Wintery Greetings,
It is pleasing to see the club house fully functional and the building works completed. The new key system is in place with pass cards required for access to the building and external toilet. After some initial teething problems it appears to be working well. We have exciting news for the club in that the funding for the completion of the external grounds and landscaping has been approved by council with planning to start next week.
The club Championships were held on the 23 and 24 June and were enjoyed by all, in spite of the weather delays on Saturday afternoon. Many thanks to Ben for his logistical skills in running them so efficiently. Many of you added a helping hand on the day providing food and service to all the players, none more so than Elizabeth Sloan who organised the prizes from the many generous sponsors listed below and ensured that everyone was well fed.

I would like to thank the current committee who have worked tirelessly and with good humour to keep our club running as smoothly as possible throughout the year. It is great to see that many are happy to stay on in their current positions at the upcoming AGM to be held on next Saturday 21st July at 1 pm. Please show your support by attending. Afternoon tea to follow. Social tennis at 2pm.
With regards to AGM and committee positions we are looking to find an Auditor and a Social Event coordinator. Would YOU consider volunteering for either of these roles. Please contact me on 0425711364 if you can or fill in the nomination form on the bottom of the AGM notice and hand it to me on the day.
Sue Moreland, Happy Hitting!
