PRESIDENT’S REPORT

WELCOME TO ANOTHER SEASON

Maybe I’m just getting old but this year has flown by and before we can blink the new season will be upon us.

Our Annual Diner was a great success with full capacity and we had joining us as VIPS’ - The Mayor Mark Irwin, Stuart Aubrey MLA, Local Councillor Tony Krsticevic and we had a very strong turnout of our wonderful Club Sponsors.
Congratulations to all the runners up and winners on the night and a big thank you to the Committee and members for helping run the night together.

Club Person Of the Year Award
This season we had 2 runners up for the award and they were Alan Harwood and Rob Doncon for their valuable hard work around the club and the winner and very well deserved was Jo Mullins.

Farewell Committee Members
At the Annual Dinner we also recognised the departure from the Committee some significant contributors and I want to thank them for their many years of selfless service. Vicki Johnson, Graham Burnfield, Stephen Caddy and Jenny Tomich - thank you all so much and you will all be missed!

THE AGM

This was conducted on Saturday 7th June and was well attended and many thanks to our Treasurer Toby Nicholls who has set a new benchmark in PPT presentations at the Club! We managed to fill all positions except for the 2 Vice Captain roles but we are working on finding suitable candidates to take up these valuable positions at the Club. If you are thinking about this - please reach out to myself or Conor to have a chat and see what’s involved and if you would be suitable to join the Captain’s team.

THE NEW COMMITTEE FOR 2025/2026

Many thanks to the team that has stayed on and to the new members that have joined our team. I’m looking forward to an energetic season with many on and off the court events to keep our members enjoying their tennis membership.

BOOK A COURT (VAS) SYSTEM

It’s been more than a year in the making and organisation but we are now just a week or two away from the VAS system being fully installed and operational. The Booking System will be run by the Captains Team and you will all need to be patient with us in the first few weeks as we get to know and understand the system but it should be very beneficial for the club in the long term.

FIRST SOCIAL EVENT FOR THE YEAR

Dust off your drinking hats and dancing shoes and join us for live music on Saturday 23rd August.
Tickets are $10 per person, please pay on arrival at the bar (cash or card) and BYO your own food.
This is a great opportunity to make a table and bring some family and friends down to experience the Club.
The event will be held in the patio area and we will have the blinds down and gas heaters on to ensure everyone is cozy.
Commences 6.30pm with the band starting around 6.45pm and playing till around 9.45pm.
