The Gawler Tennis Club have their tennis tournament held over the March Long Weekend (8-10 March 2014) at our courts at Essex Park on Victoria Terrace in Gawler.

This year we are introducing events that are sanctioned by Tennis Seniors Australia, which means National ranking points will be awarded for a number of seniors events. There are also many other events for a range of different players.

Details about the tournament can be found at http://gawlertennis.com.au/tournaments/gtt/

The Australian Open Trophies are currently touring Australia and are coming to Littlehampton on Friday 8th November from 3.30pm to 7.30pm. Along with the trophies, there will be appearances by Alicia Molik and Spongebob Square Pants. There will be free Cardio tennis sessions and free Hot Shots sessions. Come and try your hand at the speed serve – see how fast (or slow) you can serve or have a bounce in the bouncy castle, have your face painted, groove to the DJ whilst enjoying a BBQ, with a glass of wine or beer or munch on a donut and coffee or just bring your sneakers and racquet and have a hit. Hope to see you all there!

The new courts are well underway. The ground needs to dry out a bit which is 4 to 6 weeks away. Expected completion date is December and then we’d need to wait for a dry sunny spell before putting the blue acrylic finish down. After that we can write “LTC – best club in the world!” on all the courts and it’d be visible from space.

Littlehampton Tennis Club’s AGM will be held on Thursday, 20th June, 7.30pm start, at the Anembo Park clubrooms.

Unfortunately there are lots of positions that need filling and the current committee is at capacity in terms of what they can achieve on their own. This doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be required to attend meetings, but if you can spare enough of your time to relieve us of one single instance job (co-ordinating the presentation dinner or managing the Bunnings BBQ roster for example) or one regular job (replacing coffee at the club rooms or stocking the fridge for example) then you’re doing more than your part at the club and you’re also relieving the job list of others.

Here’s a brief list of what’s up for grabs this year.

• Secretary
• Junior Coordinator  (Boys)
• Social/Fundraising Coordinator
• Property Manager
• General helpers – eg garden maintenance, watering ,weeding
• Membership Secretary

There’s always more though so if you can show your face (physically or electronically) then we would really appreciate it.

Attaching the final newsletter for the season. Brad Holmes picked up the best report this time round, not so much for penning a literary masterpiece, but simply for putting in an effort.
