SOCIAL

Another quick apology to our wonderful social players, this Saturday, due to the semi-finals of two pennant teams, we’ll only have two courts available for social play.

Please be patient with our sets coordinator, who’ll be doing their best to accommodate everyone. It might be a bit of a shuffle, but we’ll make it work!

While we’re on the topic, a huge shoutout to everyone who completes their duties, and an extra thank you to those who’ve stepped up to help out when someone’s forgotten. You legends keep the club running smoothly, and we appreciate you more than you know

VAS BOOKING SYSTEM (FORMERLY "BOOK A COURT")

The new booking system is now live and has been running relatively smoothly over the last two weeks. A big thank you to everyone for your patience during installation and any teething issues (especially our coaching team!)

To book a court, simply:

1. Click the link on our website to access the booking page.

2. Log into your ClubSpark account (as a member, you already have one).

3. Select your day, time, and court.

4. Choose the length of time using the dropdown.

5. Hit continue and follow through to confirm your booking.

If your booking is after 5pm and requires floodlights, there’s a $10/hour charge for members. Once booked, you’ll receive a 4-digit access code. For example, if your code is 1234, enter 1234# on the keypad. You can access the court 15 minutes before your booking time.

Floodlights will automatically switch on when you enter your code and turn off 15 minutes after your session, giving you time to pack up.

Please, please, PLEASE close the gates when you leave the courts!

A quick reminder: yes, you do need to book a court. The system is open to the public, so if someone books a court and shows up while you're playing, they have priority. Booking is free for members during the day, so just jump online and lock in your spot.

If you want a court, Please book the court.

WINTER PENNANTS

What a ride it’s been this season! First off, a massive shoutout to our Wednesday Ladies Team who gave it their all in last week’s Semi Final. It was a nail-biter, and although they narrowly missed out on the win, their grit and grace on court were nothing short of inspiring.

But wait, we’re not done yet! This weekend, we’ve got four teams still in the hunt for glory in their Semi Finals. So, if you’re free on Saturday, come down to the club and bring your loudest cheers! In particular, I’ll be out there with my Saturday team, and Michael Falk’s team will also be battling it out. Your support from the sidelines makes all the difference.

Let’s rally behind our players and finish the season strong, lets add another shield to our collection!

SUMMER PENNANTS

I don’t know about you, but I am well and truly over this rain. So, let’s turn our gaze to brighter days and the return of Summer Pennants!

Nomination forms will be heading your way soon, make sure to fill them out to register your interest. You’ll be asked to indicate which leagues you’d like to play in and your current availability. This helps our team captains plan ahead and get everyone sorted for a great season.

Important note for Sunday teams: There’s a slight change this season. When your team is playing at home, you’ll be self-rostered for bar duty as a team. That means we’ll need multiple players with their RSA, so if you haven’t got yours yet, now’s a great time to look into it.

To help with this, we’ll be running an RSA course for members prior to the start of the season, stay tuned for dates!

MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

You’ll have recently received your membership renewal notice, and now it’s time to mark your calendars fees are due by 30th September.

That gives you two months to get everything sorted before our beloved grass courts reopen. Paying on time ensures you’re ready to hit the grass courts as soon as the season kicks off.

Another handy feature of Clubspark (besides booking courts) is that you can also pay your membership fees through it. Easy, quick, and no paperwork!
