Covering the 2008/09 Summer as well as the 2009 Winter seasons the club fielded six junior teams in Summer and seven in Winter with just under 50 percent of all teams reaching the finals.
The club continues to play under difficult dry weather conditions and operates under a "water conservation strategy" in conjunction with Tennis Victoria and South East Water.
Other activities conducted by the club through the year were a fund-raising sausage sizzle, club members manning the show bag stall at the annual Parish Fair, a Christmas BBQ and Annual Club Championship Day, and the Trophy Presentation Night.
New faces are always welcome and the Club looks forward to enquiries from prospective members. |
