Consequently, your ever vigilant Committee has purchased some Dunlop AO balls (the Official Ball of the Australian Open!) to trial. We will be opening our first canister at social tennis this Saturday 16 January. We encourage all players, including pennants players, to come down and give them a try. The Committee will then consider whether to make a ...permanent switch. Yours in tennis, James W Mitton Captain of Vice

01.01.2022 Our lovely member, Bernie Smith, is riding in the Lifcycle for Canteen OnRoad fundraiser. Read what she has to say about the event and please show her your support. Hi there I’m riding in the Lifcycle for Canteen OnRoad event to support young Aussies when cancer crashes into their world. ... It’s crazy to think that every day 63 young Aussies will be affected by cancer whether that’s their own diagnosis or that of a family or friend. Canteen is the game changer when cancer crashes into their lives. I've surpassed my goal of raising $600 to show my support, but I know there's a lot more generous people out there and I'd like to push to $1000....but I can’t do it without your help. Any donation would be appreciated it all counts https://www.raiseit.org.au/fundraisers/bernadettesmith All funds raised will go towards helping young people develop resilience and can rebuild the foundations that crumble beneath them when cancer turned their life upside down. Thank you for your support it means a lot to me! Thanks, Bernadette
