Juniors
Currently our club does not have a working junior committee. Coming into the new summer season it is crucial that a new committee is established to meet the needs of our 200 juniors and their families. These juniors deserve to have a committee to work alongside James and nourish junior tennis at our club and liaise with the senior members. Therefore I am calling a meeting of interested parents / members keen to set up a new sub committee.
Meeting – Monday 9 August 7pm in the clubrooms. Please give your support as it is not a huge commitment of time and we need you and your new ideas.
Lease Updates
Thank you to all the members of the club and the community who took time to participate in the online survey. Result – 87 in support and 4 opposing our lease renewal. Our case is now to be heard at a community board meeting hopefully in August. Scott and Jeremy will present our case on behalf of the committee and members. Thank you too, to the members prepared to speak on behalf of the club.
Health and Safety
We do have some concerns at this time of the year re the wet / frosty conditions on the courts particularly in the areas sheltered by the Bowling Club. On Saturday the board person may choose not to allocate these courts if they are concerned. Members then who choose to play on the closed courts do so at their own risk !! Bill is looking into trialling a system for drying these areas.
Cups
You may have noticed a number of cups on the corner table in the dining room in the clubrooms. During our working bee to sort through all our paperwork / memorabilia we decided that these cups are no longer working cups in our club and can be returned to last named person on the cup if they would like to keep it. If you know any of these people you can please pass these cups on. Thanks to a dedicated little crew for their hard work in paperthrowing ! – Ewan, Nicki, John Larson, Kay Mc, Ron Bruce and Lionel. A job well done.
AGM
Further information re the AGM will be sent to members as soon as our financial report is available.
Bins
I am surprised that we have members who do not use our waste bins correctly. Just because rubbish is green it does not go in the green bin !!! Coffee cups please in the rubbish. We are not recycling balls / canisters. Des is doing his best to ensure our bins are compliant but is concerned that shortly our bins will not be picked up if we do not do better. Come on guys !!
Heat Pump
Members can you please ensure that the heat pump is turned off when you depart the clubrooms.
Defibrilator
On Saturday July 23 at afternoon tea time Sarah Marr will give members a guide to using the defibrillator.
Think that is all for now !
