22.01.2022 Welcome (Rory) the Lobster ball machine, the newest member of our club. Members can now hire Rory for one-on-one sessions. Go to the court hire page on the LTC website to download the fact sheet for booking deets and access instructions.

21.01.2022 Saturdays don’t come much better. A picture postcard spring day ushered in season 2020/21. Special thanks to our guests Patrick Gorman MP (and cameo by young Leo), @JohnCarey and Joanne Fotakis, Councillor City of Vincent - North Ward for joining us. The highlight of today’s events was the announcement of a new club person award in memory of Michael Harris. We congratulate Jenny on being the first recipient of the Michael Harris award. Thank you Jenny for your selfless contribution to our club. #leedervilletennisclub #tennisperth #perthtennis #perthtennisclubs #tennisclubsperth #tenniswest #tennisaustralia #seasonopening #summer #cityofvincent #leederville #mthawthorn #northperth #loveleedy

21.01.2022 Rory the Lobster the Ball Machine, is charging ready for use.

21.01.2022 So, its like, weve got these bread rolls for a sausage sizzle tomorrow at Bunnings Innaloo. If we dont all drown or get struck by lightning, expect club buns n snags with arvo tea for the next month. Leftovers for Africa. #leedervilletennisclub #bunnings #bunningssausagesizzle #bunningsinnaloo #tennisperth #perthtennis #tenniswest #tennisaustralia #cityofvincent #leederville #mthawthorn #northperth

20.01.2022 When life gives you COVID, you close the borders and await the release of @watsonfamilywines 2020 rosé. Now serving (very chilled) over the LTC bar. Summer, tennis and a new release rosé from our fave Margaret River winemakers - hashtag blessed. #leedervilletennisclub #watsonfamilywines #perthsummer #margaretriverwines #tennisperth #perthtennis #perthtennisclubs #tennisclubsperth #tenniswest #tennisaustralia #seasonopening #summer #cityofvincent #leederville #mthawthorn #northperth #loveleedy

17.01.2022 Snag sizzle Thank you to our volunteers for the spanking teamwork Thank you to all the customers who came and bought a snag in a bun in such crappy weather And big thanks to Holly and the crew at Bunnings Innaloo for drafting us in with the last minute call up. Feet up ... time for a robust Shiraz #leedervilletennisclub #bunnings #bunningsinnaloo #bunningssausagesizzle

16.01.2022 ANZAC Day 2020 is near. This year the day will be unlike any other in most of our lifetimes. We will pay our respects - not in crowded ceremonies - but in more personal ways, reflecting current circumstances. For the LTC family it is heartbreaking that we will not be staging Diggers Cup 2020. It has come to define our club and its volunteer spirit. We will greatly miss our community of tennis friends in and around Perth and WA.... We donate part proceeds from Diggers Cup to a veterans charity. This year we were to be raising funds for Soldier On. If you can, please support Soldier On Australia and its #InTheirHonour appeal. #leedervilletennisclub #diggerscup #diggerscup2020 #soldieron #intheirhonour #ANZACDay #ANZACDayWA#atthegoingdownofthesunandinthemorningwewillrememberthem #teamtennis #tennisperth #perthtennis #tenniswest #tennisaustralia #cityofvincent #leederville #mthawthorn #northperth

16.01.2022 Anna and Norm in charge of the barbie on LTC Opening Day.

16.01.2022 On this Perth winters morn we were very fortunate to host key stakeholders supporting our club with funding to facilitate a major upgrade of court lighting and the introduction of Tennis Australias Book-A-Court technology. Representatives of the WA Government, Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, City of Vincent and Tennis West joined members of our committee for conversation, morning tea and some Kodak moments. Local, accessible recreation faci...lities make communities a better place to be. In our inner city catchment that means having courts available at night and at times when people want to play. With the introduction of cost and energy efficient LED lighting and the seamless Book-A-Court system, our club will have enhanced amenity and access. We particularly acknowledge and thank key individuals in attendance today: Hon Mick Murray - WA Minister for Sport & Recreation John Carey - MLA, Member for Perth John Carey Emma Cole - Mayor, City of Vincent David MacLennan - CEO, City of Vincent Michael Roberts - CEO, Tennis West #leedervilletennisclub #tennisperth #perthtennis #tenniswest #tennisaustralia #bookacourt #cityofvincent #leederville #mthawthorn #northperth #tennis #dlgsc

15.01.2022 "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them." #ANZACDay

15.01.2022 A lovely day for a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle. Not many cars in the car park yet so hopefully things pick up soon. Thank you to the brave vollies who are here and still smiling.

14.01.2022 Extending an invitation for a fun (if slightly competitive) compass format doubles event. We welcome members, visitors, friends, juniors. Guaranteed 3 round robin sets - finals to follow. Novelty prizes on offer.... Bar open from 2pm. Download the fact sheet from the Events page on our web site here: https://www.leedervilletennisclub.com.au//ltc-compass-tou/

14.01.2022 Were absolutely rapt to secure CSRFF funding to replace our old temperamental court lights with new energy efficient LEDs. Exciting times. Thanks for having our back John Carey - very much appreciate your support.

14.01.2022 Shout out to Ali Mehdi who is keeping busy in isolation getting ready to play tennis at Leederville Tennis Club. Club members sending cheers. Looking forward to seeing you soon, Ali.

13.01.2022 Please click the following link to our club newsletter for an important advisory from Tennis Australia, together with our club decision regarding Diggers Cup. https://mailchi.mp/fdfeaa/tennis-aust-advisory-diggers-cup

12.01.2022 Our bar might be closed but that doesnt mean we cant pay homage to International Sauvignon Blanc day - in fact it would be a crime not to. Accordingly, we shout out our appreciation to Andrew Watson and all at Watson Family Wines and Woodlands Winery for their continuing support of LTC. Andrew, we promise well make up for lost time when we reopen. #leedervilletennisclub #watsonfamilywines #woodlandswines #margaretriverwine #internationalsauvignonblancday #tennisperth #perthtennis #tenniswest #tennisaustralia #cityofvincent #leederville #mthawthorn #northperth

12.01.2022 Glory, riches and disputed line calls await. Nominations for Tennis Wests summer leagues are now open. Keep an eye out for our next newsletter or go to the Events page on our web site to download a nomination form. ... https://www.leedervilletennisclub.com.au//summer2020penna/

11.01.2022 A lovely day for a hit at Leederville Tennis Club. Afternoon tea was great and we had 3 visitors join us for an afternoon in the sun.

11.01.2022 All in all we managed to keep playing most of the year. Well done everyone.

11.01.2022 Compass Tourny underway @Leedervilletennisclub. Great weather, grass courts in action for the first time this season, courts full!

10.01.2022 Dear LTC members and friends It is hard to believe that just over a month ago we were shaking hands at the net, gathering round tables in social groups and busily preparing for Diggers Cup. My, how our world has changed.... This new world has upended all our lives and it has upended so many of the things we love doing. For most of us, playing tennis and participating in our club environment are part of our DNA. Its leaving a big void. The guidelines and directives around the ongoing operation of our club are out of our hands at the moment. While the the latest bulletin from Tennis West opened the door for some limited form of access and play, these guidelines are entirely subject to directives issued by local government. In our case, the City of Vincent has issued the following communications ... "In response to Federal Government restrictions to stop the spread of COVID-19, all club sporting activities in the City of Vincent must cease until 25 April 2020. This includes training and gameplay." While we would like to re-open the club, we are mindful of our very important mutual health and safety obligations to members, club users and the wider community. The committee will keep you informed of any developments via the newsletter and social media. In the meantime, the grass courts will be prepared early for winter - weather permitting. And, behind the scenes, a lot of work will occur to studiously manage the clubs finances. Beyond the club, I would urge everyone to do the right thing and adhere to all government directives. There will be further challenges ahead and we should be prepared to adapt to this new normal, for however long it lasts. If we all do the right thing, we will come out of this sooner rather than later. Please stay home, stay safe, keep the wine fridge stocked and watch out for further updates. Kind Regards, Wendy Ireland Leederville Tennis Club President

05.01.2022 As that Perry person would say, shake it off ... winter, that is! This Saturday we kick off summer season 20/21 with our official club opening day.

The bar will be open and we’ll also be firing up the barbie for a free snag sizzle after play. Everyone welcome - members and non-members.... We are dedicating the day to fund raising for the Leukaemia Foundation in memory of Michael Harris. Please make a donation to play.

Thanks go to the team at Stiles Electrical for working through some dodgy weather over the last couple of days and to our VP, Matt, for seeing the LED project to fruition. Bring on summer. Bring on evening tennis.... #leedervilletennisclub #tennisperth #perthtennis #tenniswest #tennisaustralia #stileselectrical #LEDLights #cityofvincent #leederville #mthawthorn #northperth

02.01.2022 Adiós 2020. You’ve served us up some double faults and a big COVID DQ, but there were a few aces along the way. Very grateful, though, for where we live, for being able to get back out on the court in 2020 and for our amazing member volunteers. #leedervilletennisclub #tennisperth #perthtennis #tenniswest #tennisaustralia #cityofvincent #leederville #mthawthorn #northperth #joondanna #westperth #leedervilletennis #mthawthorntennis #northperthtennis #joondannatennis #westperthtennis
