With Peter’s departure, Ginny Coubrough has volunteered to occupy the kitchen for club night on Friday, 23rd February. She is looking forward to the challenge and as at time of print the menu is shaping up to include her children’s favourite – homemade lasagna, and for those wanting a lighter option, a Moroccan chicken salad.
The pinnacle of the competitive tennis season looms, and this year we're changing up the format to create a grand final day for both junior and senior club champs. Entries open soon for men's and women's and mixed singles and doubles in both open and B grades. Start organizing your combinations and make sure you will be free for finals day, which is scheduled for Sunday 15 April, with a rain date of Sunday 22 April. Preliminary matches will be played over the few weeks prior, mostly on evenings. Entry details soon.
The weather forecast looks promising, so come down and David will get everyone some doubles action.
