24.01.2022 For your info NO FIREWORKS IN TOWN THIS NYE - staying covid-safe. Good decision Council.

23.01.2022 ASH BARTY INTERVIEW AT 1.30 TODAY! KURT FEARNLEY'S ONE PLUS ONE TODAY (SUNDAY) ABC TV 24... 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm Ash Barty's 2020 was meant to be full but the pandemic kept her in Brisbane, rather than defending her World #1 title. The French Open champ speaks to Kurt about her return to tennis and the importance of family.

22.01.2022 'WHERE'S THE SCREAMING ROOM?!' Most of us remember George - George Langford passed away 4 years ago today but he certainly left his mark on West Port...we often refer to (and want to use his!) 'screaming room'. Ah yes, we remember George - he was the one who would often say: "Fault?! Fault? I don't SERVE faults!" (or hit the ball out for that matter). He loved his tennis (and his computer). George was such a character and he is still missed. We are thinking of Janni especially today.

21.01.2022 HAPPY CHRISTMAS! We hope you are able to see many of your family and friends over the festive season and have a wonderful Christmas as we all look forward to a safer, more joyous and healthy year ahead.

21.01.2022 West Port Tennis Club is part of a wonderful sporting precinct that provides for not only tennis and touch tennis but also cricket, football, pony club, children's playground, well designed and purpose built dog exercising areas, dog training classes, boule, and a premium gymnasium that caters for everything from dancing to basketball and indoor soccer. Here's a photo taken across a sporting field, past cricket nets to our club with its 9 courts, 4 half courts, and practice wall.

19.01.2022 We are very excited to reveal our brand new logo! Big thanks to @plus5media for more great work!

18.01.2022 Despite an ominous weather forecast we were delighted to see that most of those who were planning to come along to our pre-Christmas celebration attended. The real optimists (or tennis tragics?) brought their tennis racquets and were well rewarded as, surprisingly, we didn't get a drop of rain). Sincere thanks to all who came and to the many workers before, during, and following this fun event. "HAPPY CHRISTMAS" to all our members and your families, and a very special thank you to especially Cheryl and Geoff who through their wonderful and consistent efforts managed to keep our club operating safely throughout the Covid-19 year.

17.01.2022 RAIN OR SHINE! OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY WILL BE ON RAIN OR SHINE THIS SATURDAY FROM 10:00am TO 2:00pm!

16.01.2022 As well as organised social play everyday, we have adult tennis groups & On Court Cardio sessions weekly! For more info, contact Goodwin Tennis - Mid North Coast

15.01.2022 IS THIS YOUR CHILD'S?

15.01.2022 Happy New Year everyone! Stay safe and enjoy your tennis.

14.01.2022 BOOKING A COURT Don't forget to include your membership number when you privately book a court via the Book-a-Court online system. This will ensure you receive your member discount!

12.01.2022 MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL IS DUE FOR JAN-DEC 2021! There are a number of ways you can renew your membership: 1. Responding to an email you receive from Goodwin Tennis, following the instructions therein;... 2. Paying your $50 as you have in the past, via Netbank to West Port Macquarie Tennis Club (or WPMTC) - BSB 032 586; ACCNT 209 261 ensuring that your name and membership number are included in the Reference. 3. Paying your $50 annual membership by cash or cheque placed into the black letterbox within the clubhouse, ensuring that your name and membership number are included. 4. Posting to our PO Box via snail mail to: WPMTC, PO Box 1394, PORT MACQUARIE, NSW, 2444

12.01.2022 COVID SAFETY Please continue to strictly follow the Covid-safe rules despite the fact you may feel Port is safe at the moment. It's not. Please no more moving chairs closer together, shaking hands, or Chrissy hugs, and keep your 1.5m distance from others. There is always hand cleanser in the clubhouse, and please also stack your coffee mug etc. in the dishwasher, not leaving it for others to touch. Also, make a real attempt not to pay your daily social fees with silver. Thank you.

12.01.2022 CHRISTMAS PARTY: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12 Our Covid-safe Christmas Party is planned for SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12 so please jot the date in your diary. Covid restrictions will dictate the type of function we can provide thus we'll give further details closer to that date when hopefully restrictions are lifted somewhat.

12.01.2022 TOUCH TENNIS FEE We regret having to introduce a $2 per morning cost to play Touch Tennis. This is to cover the cost of the special balls that are required, and will commence from July 1. It's great seeing the number of folk enjoying Touch Tennis. If you haven't played tennis but would like to, or you're slowing down or not able to run at the moment, why not have a go. You'll be very surprised at how similar the strokes are to tennis on a full sized court, and it's a far bet...ter option than either giving up tennis all together or moving to another slower sport. There's no cost to try it and we can lend you a tennis racquet. Send us a message if you're interested or just turn up on a Tuesday morning to give it a try and meet the other Touch Tennis players.

10.01.2022 Did you know? Our pro-shop has demo racquets so that means you can try before you buy!! Demo racquets in: Babolat Pure Drive (new 2021 model) Babolat Pure Strike... Babolat Boost Aero Babolat Rival Head Challenge Innegra Goodwin Tennis - Mid North Coast understand buying the right racquet is an important decision so are helping make this decision easier for you!

10.01.2022 Take care friends.

10.01.2022 A few videos of play for those who came along on Christmas Eve morning.

08.01.2022 ONE-OFF SENIORS TENNIS TOURNAMENT ROUND ROBIN SUNDAY 18TH JULY - ALL CLUBS WELCOME $20 per event... We all had such "a ball" (sorry!) at the recent Seniors' Tournament we've decided to have a one-day tourny for those who missed it for any reason or of course for all who simply had a great weekend. So jot down SUNDAY 18th JULY in your diary for a fun round robin. We'll share more details later, but will be looking for donations of goodies for morning and afternoon teas. Also, if you are aware of anyone who would be happy to donate a prize that too would be terrific. :) Meanwhile, pick up an entry form from the Members Corner, complete it and pop it in the black letterbox in the clubhouse. Our thanks to Marion McIntosh who has volunteered to record the entries.
