Please remember to put some $ in the Honesty box in the hole-in-the-wall. Your club will still be paying rates, insurance, etc. Stay well. Rob

18.01.2022 Tennis tops list of sports for increasing life expectancy ABC HEALTH & WELLBEING By James Bullen for the Health Report Key points: Tennis players lived more than nine years longer than people who were sedentary, topping the list of sports Researchers think social connection is the key to longevity benefits... The effect persisted after accounting for wealth and education status But not according to new research on the effect of physical activity on how long we live. Researchers tracked thousands of people for up to 25 years, including what sports they played and when they died. They found tennis players lived longest among the activities they looked at ahead of soccer, swimming and cycling. .. Why tennis? Most physical activity is beneficial, but according to this latest piece of research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, not equally so at least when it comes to increases in life expectancy. Researchers looked at 9,000 people for up to 25 years, tracking what physical activity they did and when they died. They used data from the Copenhagen City Heart Study, a long-running study into heart health. "And then we saw how they die off and [some] die a little faster than other groups," said Dr Peter Schnohr, lead author of the study. .. But Dr Schnohr and his team controlled for those factors in the analysis and the effect persisted. That allowed them to analyse differences between eight sports: tennis, badminton, soccer, cycling, swimming, jogging, calisthenics and going to the gym. What the researchers think the sports associated with the biggest increases in life expectancy tennis (9.7 years), badminton (6.2 years) and soccer (4.7 years) have in common is that it takes two or more people to play them. .. We can't be sure that tennis causes longer life, because the study was observational. That means the researchers looked for links between different sports and longevity, but couldn't show a cause-and-effect relationship. Professor Cathie Sherrington, a research fellow at the University of Sydney's Institute for Musculoskeletal Health, said team sports aren't the only physical activity that can be social. "Myself, I'm part of a running group where we have quite large numbers of middle-aged, younger and older people running together. And we do see very large groups of cyclists as well, meeting and riding together and chatting," she said. "So I do think you can get social connectedness in different sports, it doesn't just need to be in racquet sports." .. She urged people to stay as active as they can, for as long as possible. "I think there is a little bit of a perception among some people that, it's more appropriate to slow down. But really the evidence is that people should be doing exercise as intensive as they can manage," she said. .. "I think it's the best sport in the world, you exercise your left arm, your right arm, your legs. Your brain's thinking where he's going to hit the ball. It's hard to beat, this game of tennis."

18.01.2022 The weather has beaten us again, stay home, stay safe, think about who you can bring to our club next week. We have a new website happening, not quite finished yet but memberships are due for the new year so please go to https://play.tennis.com.au/nambouranddistricttennisassociat , find the 'become a member' page and join up. See you hopefully next week. Rob

18.01.2022 For all tennis enthusiasts this term our Wednesday night offerings are changing a little. Things will kick off this week so PLEASE make an effort to make it on the first night, tonight 10th October (check this Facebook page if the weather looks doubtful at 6) so I can explain the changes. There will be a possible expansion so you can decide on your options. You will still be playing 3 sets as usual this week so don’t miss out, starts at 7pm. Hope the weather is kind to us Rob

18.01.2022 In the course of researching options to upgrade our solar system at the Club we approached Circuit Alert Electrical and Solar for a quote. After meeting with Martin and Lachlan on site and explaining our situation, their follow up response took us completely by surprise with the extraordinarily generous offer to provide sponsorship support to install a new system at our Club. This entirely unsolicited offer and subsequent actions are a true measure of the genuine commitme...nt to community this company demonstrates. With their offer we were able to extend the project to installation of the largest system possible for the roof space, to realise a significant boost to meeting the running costs of the Centre over time. Once agreed, Lisa attended to all the formalities and the process from start to finish was flawless. There was no question too difficult, and much useful information and additional hints were readily offered to fill the gaps in our knowledge. The install team lead by Richard were highly efficient, friendly, responsive and extremely helpful particularly with the removal of the old system. We are thankful and delighted to have entered into a long term partnership with this family owned and operated, local Nambour company and happily commend Circuit Alert. See more

18.01.2022 Apparently there are pools of water on the courts so lets call it off tonight. Matt Falconer is running a club event this Sunday and would love to have some existing club members to show up and add some energy / atmosphere for the activities he is running. This is designed to bring in newbies, so we all benefit. If you know someone who might be interested please pass on the details. See poster below.

16.01.2022 After a year that has challenged and tested us all, finally a reason to celebrate ahead of Christmas. We are excited to announce our partnership with Circuit Alert Electrical and Solar! The company has come on board as a major sponsor, and their extraordinarily generous support has enabled the Club to install a fabulous new solar system. Looks amazing!! This much larger system will significantly reduce the costs associated with running our floodlights and realise ongoi...ng gains for years to come. Circuit Alert Electrical and Solar is a family owned and operated business locally based at 102 Howard Street, Nambour, proud community members and supporters. We have entered into a long term partnership with the company that will include a referral program bringing mutual benefit to both parties. More info to follow. See their signage at the Club soon. Many thanks to Martin, Richard, Lisa and all the team at Circuit Alert! www.circuitalert.com.au

15.01.2022 Morning all. Nambour is hosting the coasts Premier League matches today. Come on down to Washington Street in Nambour to see some great tennis

14.01.2022 For those members who are eligible for the old Getting Started vouchers, it has been renamed FairPlay, and is taking applications now. Get in quick, they sell out.

14.01.2022 After studying several radars and predictions I think it best that we cancel tonights tennis as there is a strong possibility of some showers happening. So maintain the rage for tennis, see you next week we hope. Rob 22 July

14.01.2022 As the final curtain is about to fall on this tumultuous year that was 2020, we pause to reflect. A year that began with such promise was quickly brought to its knees as the rising COVID 19 pandemic concerns became a reality for us all. A year like no other was soon posing difficult questions and throwing up seemingly endless challenges to every aspect of our lives. And so it was in sport. Like all in the community our Club was significantly impacted with closures and seve...re restrictions to our usual operating practices. Thankfully we on the Sunshine Coast were minimally impacted and the nature of our sport allowed us to resume some activity sooner than others, albeit with heavily imposed conditions. Your Committee was tested in so many ways working through the myriad of regulation to get the Centre back up and running. Throughout it all, you, our members and valued followers have remained strong and loyal to this great Club. Many of our teams and individuals enjoyed competitive success when fixtures recommenced and for all there was and remains the joy of playing and being involved in the sport we love. A huge thank you goes out to our fabulous sponsors who came on board at a time when their own businesses were under pressure, and particularly Circuit Alert, who with their support for the new solar system have given the Club a massive boost to the year(s) ahead. Thanks must also go to our amazing Centre managers Zoran and Borjana, and all the coaching team for their cheerful and positive efforts to keep things ticking over throughout, and to our many willing volunteers. Finally, we sincerely hope you were able to enjoy a special Christmas celebration with those dear to you, and we wish everyone a very Happy New Year. Let’s hope 2021 is kinder to us all!! Stay safe and see you on the court soon! Regards Committee
