The club thanks Bronwyn for all her efforts as Junior Convenor for the past 3 seasons. She has done a fantastic job organising and communicating with all our teams and players. The club continues to have solid numbers of teams and busy courts every weekend. The club appreciates the efforts of all its volunteers and the Junior Convenor is one of our most important roles. Bronwyn was very generous in taking on the role over an extremely busy time for her.

Thanks to Sylvia and David Stuart and John Best for organising a successful pizza night last Friday.

A good number of juniors came along for some round robin singles, along with pizza, and other treats. The night was free for our competition players.

Thanks also to our coaches Sue Davey and Dylan Edgley who were there to encourage and advise all the players and even do some reminiscing about

junior social nights of the past, when Sue did all the organising and Dylan was a participant.

These nights are a great way for our members and their parents to speak to Dylan and Sue in a relaxed way off the court, about how to get the most out

of their tennis.

We look forward to more social nights in the future.

Many thanks to the club for providing a sausage sizzle ( beautifully cooked by Michael Gonzales ) and prizes to the best team from each court.

Congratulations to Sarah and Alex Robinson, Richard and Angus Jones, Miranda Stuart and Matt Clearihan and Alistair Graham and Corey Perkins, who each received a sleeve of balls and a prince bag.

Congratulations and good luck to all the teams who will be competing in grand finals this weekend.

 

This includes Saturday GSD 1 and Sunday teams BSD 1 and GSD 1.

 

Don’t forget about the presentation afternoon at the clubhouse next Sunday the 21st at 3.00 (not 3.30 as previously reported) to be followed by an adult/child round robin and then a free sausage sizzle. Hope you can make it. New junior comp. players have also been invited. The aim is to get to know the others in the club and have fun and adults are there to keep the ball in play (when they can!). Thanks to those who have already replied. We would like to have an idea of numbers for catering purposes but it is not essential.

 

Some club hats and clothing will be available for sale and for perusal with a view to ordering at the presentation afternoon.

 

Bye for now,

 

Go South Hawks!
