Happy Birthday to long-time club member, Terry Richards. We’re not going to say how old Tezza is, but the cake may give you a clue! Wonderful achievement to still be playing tennis Terry!

• Chocolate Drive Coordinator – Distribute numbered choc boxes to players/junior families and collect money.
• Fundraising/Social Coordinator – Organise and assist with fundraising and/or social events for the club.

We would like to see as many people attend as possible. Please show your support for our club by coming along. If you are unable to attend, perhaps you could contact me with an offer to do one of the above jobs.
