18.01.2022 It was a pleasure to welcome special guest John Fitzgerald to the club today. This afternoon about 50 juniors listened to Fitzy speak for a few minutes. The kids then took to the courts to hit some balls, with the ex-Davis Cup captain watching on. Later he visited the Darling Downs Museum of Tennis. The photo shows him holding a Slazenger Challenge model racquet that he said he used as a youngster. Fitzy also recalled playing at the Association on at least one occasion in the late 1970s.
