Volunteers have been busy paving at Anembo. We have built retaining walls, paved underneath the new shelters and creating some paths. The lawn seed we put down before winter has done well and the area is looking good. There are plans for landscaping the area to the north of the top shelter and for some more lawn to the south of the lower shelter. By summer the area between the road and the new courts will be a great place to sit and watch the tennis. I would like to thank APC Mt Barker for their sponsorship for this project and the following people who have assisted with this project: Brendon Hone, Nathan Rohde, Sue, Neville, Blake & Ryan Hutson, Bryon, Kylie, Elise & Cameron Moult-Smith, Graham Pool, Andrew & Frank Meffle, Simon Jacobs, Greg Sandford, Jo, Eugene & Matt Casey, Brad Giffen, Chris Geue. So far there has been over 125 hours put into this project. Well done everyone

Imports – Our Spring Night Tennis 2014 Premiers

Congratulations to the Imports team – Littlehampton Tennis Club’s 2014 Spring Night Tennis Premiers. They are pictured above receiving the inaugural Stan Miels Shield, named after long time serving club committee member, player and life member Stan Miels (now deceased).

Players were thrilled to have Dennis Miels, Stan’s son, attend and present the shield for the first time. He spoke about the early days, where tennis club members were required to spread tar and sand from large 44 gallon drums onto the courts. They then had to wait for it to set before marking the courts out. Oh, how things have changed!!

The winning team consisted of Sally Fisher, Darren Samardzic, Andrew May (captain), Steve Noble and Makoto Ogawa (Japanese exchange student – absent in the photo above as she returned to Japan before the final was played).

Runners up were a very worthy and challenging team, Hot Sets (named so, by their captain…..). Pictured below are Hot Sets’ Luke Gollan, Amy Gelven, Kaye Zadow and captain Brad Rudiger.
