25.01.2022 Keep up the great work of sharing and letting everyone know about our petition. We need to maintain pressure to make sure we can open up sooner rather than later. Word on the street is that hairdressing will open October 21st - happy for them, but we need to be happy for us! Please keep sharing- I want to update my local MP when we hit 4k signatures, and find out where he is at with getting a response from DHSS....

25.01.2022 And congratulations to Anton Jusayan, our newest junior club champion. Junior club champs were held yesterday - also a great day for the weather. Well done to the some of the other players pictured here - Michael Livingstone (who won last year) and Kanta Nishimoto (who almost lives at the club!!). Great to see you all down at the club playing. When I get some pictures of the intermediate boys winner I will post too.

24.01.2022 Over 4,600 signatures now - 5k would be amazing. My local MP range me yesterday (Matt Fregon, Labour Mt Waverley). He confirmed that our petition has been submitted to DHSS and he committed to following up. I read the Age's commentary from Fridays standard press conference (which I didn't see) and note that community sport was mentioned and that different sports would come back soon, but likely with different rules around them). He mentioned meeting in a local park with his f...amily, as their "bubbles" intersect there - I said that's part of the problem, those are the only places people can go - so there are too many people, you don't know who is there, who they are with and so on - that's why opening up tennis is so safe. So, let's make sure that tennis is first cab off the rank for the opening up of community sport and tell your local MP know about our petition. When this petition was first sent to Matt Fregon, there were maybe 3,500 signatures - now we are closing in on 5K - let's make sure our efforts get a result and share, share, share.

24.01.2022 Community consultation for the Monash Tennis Plan - https://mailchi.mp/cd179824e3de/monash-tennis-plan-2901441

24.01.2022 We now have over 4,300 signatures for the petition to put pressure on government to open up tennis again. Over 3,500 of the signatures are from Victorians (thanks to our interstate supports!). Below is the postcode breakdown around Victoria for the number of signatures. There are a lot more tennis players and supporters out there - check out your postcode and if the number is low, then share the petition with the tennis players you know at your club. There is no guarantee we ...will open up October 19th - but we know we can open tennis safely, so we have to keep the petition numbers growing. 3000 323 3001 284 3002 3 3004 104 3006 17 3008 4 3009 1 3010 1 3011 7 3012 9 3013 12 30144 1 3015 18 3016 50 3017 1 3018 16 3019 1 3020 13 3021 8 3023 18 3024 3 3025 6 3026 1 3027 1 3028 1 3029 16 303 2 3030 25 3031 7 3032 13 3033 5 3034 5 3036 3 3037 24 3038 13 3039 9 3040 11 3041 4 3042 3 3043 1 3044 11 3045 1 3046 5 3047 2 3048 3 3049 4 3051 9 3052 5 3053 4 3054 1 3055 8 3056 13 3057 4 3058 25 3059 6 3060 8 3061 1 3062 2 3064 12 3065 7 3066 5 3067 6 3068 10 307 1 3070 21 3071 7 3072 9 3073 22 3074 5 3075 3 3076 2 3078 3 3079 14 3081 5 3082 6 3083 12 3084 12 3085 6 3087 3 3088 16 3089 5 3090 1 3091 1 3093 6 3094 8 3095 16 3096 1 3097 2 3098 1 3099 1 31 1 3101 16 3102 1 3103 7 3104 26 3105 3 3106 10 3107 4 3108 11 3109 17 3111 5 3113 11 3114 7 3115 2 3116 3 3121 40 3122 24 3123 8 3124 28 3125 8 3126 15 3127 21 3128 15 3129 12 3130 28 3131 15 3132 6 3133 7 3134 16 3135 11 3136 22 3137 2 3138 3 3139 2 3140 3 3141 23 3142 20 3143 14 3144 21 3145 45 3146 28 3147 20 3148 3 3149 28 3150 85 3151 12 3152 42 3153 6 3155 11 3156 38 3158 3 3160 3 3161 18 3162 17 3163 23 3165 35 3166 10 3167 5 3168 12 3169 5 317 1 3170 24 3171 11 3172 49 3173 49 3174 26 3175 26 3177 3 3178 50 3179 7 3180 8 3181 22 3182 14 3183 10 3184 16 3185 13 3186 68 3187 27 3188 23 3189 8 3190 13 3191 23 3192 25 3193 98 3194 19 3195 34 3195 Victoria 1 3196 15 3197 6 3198 4 3199 30 3201 7 3202 4 3204 37 3205 11 3206 6 3207 10 321- 1 3212 1 3214 1 3215 2 3216 4 3217 1 3218 1 3219 1 3220 6 3222 1 3223 1 3226 4 3228 3 3255 1 32563 1 3260 1 3268 1 3280 4 32829 1 3286 1 3294 1 3300 1 33011 1 33128 1 3328 1 3334 1 3335 1 3336 5 3337 14 3338 2 3350 3 3356 2 3364 2 3427 2 3429 17 3431 1 3434 1 3437 1 3461 1 3477 1 3550 2 3551 1 3561 1 3585 1 3608 1 3616 1 3630 3 3631 6 3636 1 3641 1 3658 2 3675 1 369-1871 1 3696 1 3723 1 3730 3 3737 2 3750 3 3752 5 3753 1 3754 10 3757 1 3761 2 3764 1 3766 1 3770 1 3775 1 3777 3 3781 3 3782 2 3784 1 3793 1 3796 2 3797 1 380059 1 3802 8 3803 3 3804 6 3805 19 3806 19 3807 2 3808 4 3809 5 3810 11 3812 1 3813 1 3814 3 3815 2 3816 1 3818 2 3820 3 3840 2 3844 2 3860 1 3875 3 3909 2 3910 7 3911 1 3912 3 3913 1 3915 1 3916 3 3919 1 3922 1 3926 2 3930 25 3931 13 3933 4 3934 13 3936 5 3937 1 3938 1 3939 9 3941 4 3953 2 3960 1 3962 1 3971 1 3975 7 3976 4 3977 24 3978 3 3980 2 3981 3 3984 1 3995 2 3996 1 vic3030 1 Vic3161 1 https://www.change.org/open_tennis_in_victoria

24.01.2022 And heres the updated postcode signatures tally. Note that its not 100% accurate as not everyone puts in their postcode information (e.g. mine is not included in 3150 as I didn't include that info).

23.01.2022 WLMTC Club Championships - 7th/8th November - https://mailchi.mp/d7ddfbe/wlmtc-competition-update-2908081

22.01.2022 Mulgrave Country Club would like to thank you all for your support this year and truly wish you all a very happy and safe Christmas with your families and a wonderful New Year. We look forward to seeing you all soon.

22.01.2022 WDTA Competition starts back this weekend - https://mailchi.mp/5f8e7d4/wlmtc-competition-update-2910649

20.01.2022 Members might be interested to listen to this Podcast below, where I was interviewed about my involvement in tennis in Monash. There are two people interviewed and I am on first (so the first 25 minutes or so of the podcast). If you haven't yet submitted your feedback to Monash Council on the Tennis in Monash plan, you may get some insights from this podcast as to what tennis clubs have to deal with that you are not aware of, and be spurred on to submit feedback to council. https://podcasts.apple.com//monash-community-/id1532985872

20.01.2022 It's on again - come and join us for an afternoon of on-court fun and activities and to find out about coaching, competition and social play. Here's hoping for great weather on the day.

20.01.2022 Over 4,500 signatures now. Over the weekend I will do another postcode download, so everyone can compare how they have gone since the last one. Keep promoting and sharing. It would be great to hit 5,000! Stefan Woolley Gary R Leech Daniel Wendler Lee-anne Maxwell Wakefield Angus Roberts Andrew Ilett Michael Ilett

19.01.2022 Glorious day for our senior club championships today- and a great opportunity for match play before comp resumes next weekend.

19.01.2022 Have a wonderful break over Xmas and New Year - https://mailchi.mp/c1241ac/wlmtc-competition-update-4820245

19.01.2022 If you've eaten too much you might want to have a bit of on court exercise tomorrow night - https://mailchi.mp/00f1d97/wlmtc-competition-update-4822981

17.01.2022 Monash Tennis Plan - https://mailchi.mp/3ddd33e2914d/monash-tennis-plan-2904481

16.01.2022 Let's keep the pressure on with the petition so that tennis is opened back up again. We are at 4,670 signatures - getting to 5,000 would be fantastic so share where you can and make sure you let your local MPs know, so that they pressure DHSS.

15.01.2022 We are delighted to partner with Tennis of Melbourne to run a UTR matchplay event at our club - https://mailchi.mp/b0ed695/wlmtc-competition-update-4824877

14.01.2022 We are at 4,200 signatures now - time to step things up! Start forwarding this petition to your local MPs to push and make sure that tennis is one of the things they ask for when things start opening up. Hairdressers seems to know what's happening when - not sure why tennis doesn't, so we need to be persistent to get tennis front and centre of their thinking.... We also need to change the conversation to "How can we... open up safely" and be able to say that tennis could, because we have done it before during Stage 3 lockdown. We all heard how important the customer records were for that cafe in Kilmore (the extension of the Chadstone cluster problem). Well, tennis was doing all of that and more during Stage 3 lockdown and we can roll it out again immediately - we don't need to wait. Communities need to start opening up and we have to manage, not avoid, the risk (because it won't go away) - keeping us locked down to avoid risk isn't sustainable in any way, shape or form. Keep sharing and stay positive (not with COVID though!)

10.01.2022 Its a glorious day - but not allowed tennis - yet!! Keep sharing the petition and getting others to sign, so that we keep tennis top of mind and hopefully get the green light to get back on court ASAP. Growing numbers of signatures is really helpful to keep the pressure up. Some interesting research from CSIRO published in the Age today confirms the low risk that outdoor activities like tennis present, especially as the weather warms up.... https://www.theage.com.au//covid-19-virus-can-last-almost- Stay positive and keep sharing our petition. https://www.change.org/open_tennis_in_victoria

10.01.2022 Take part in our Club Builder survey! We are seeking feedback about the club from all stakeholders. - https://mailchi.mp/74f/take-part-in-our-club-builder-survey

07.01.2022 If you are interested in the possibility of playing tennis in the US in the future, you should set up a profile with UTR (Universal Tennis Rating). It's not too early to get started. Junior and senior tournament results are entered and there are an increasing number of UTR events being offered in Australia. This article has more information about how to set up your profile - and it's free.

06.01.2022 Our next UTR event will be on Wednesday Jan 27th 1pm to 5pm. This is a curriculum day for students and a great opportunity to get some matchplay (you will play 3 other people in 8 game sets in a round robin format) in before the weekend, when competition resumes. Everyone who came to the last one will be there, as we got washed out for the day. We will explain UTR on the day and help you set up your details if you haven't already registered (it's easy and it's free to registe...r).

06.01.2022 Wednesday night social in-house competition - https://mailchi.mp/ec3bcba/wlmtc-competition-update-2922005

04.01.2022 Second week coming up- so come on down. Members can bring guests.

04.01.2022 And well done to everyone who played the senior club champs today- a lot of sets and pretty hot made for testing conditions after a long time with no real matches. Well done to Andrew Ilett who is this years winner, and to Josh Chia and Andres Urrego Varon who gave him a run for his money in the semis and final respectively. Thanks to everyone else who came and played too- you got some much needed match practice for next week!

04.01.2022 Social night tennis back- bit chilly but a good turn out for the first night back.

03.01.2022 WLMTC Competition Update - https://mailchi.mp/111b8328e75d/wlmtc-competition-update

02.01.2022 Those case numbers are stubborn and I am hoping that this will trigger a re-evaluation of what's realistic before things can open up. I've said since I started this petition that we need to change the conversation to being about what can be opened up safely - and its a complete no-brainer that activities like golf and tennis, which managed so well in Stage 3 lockdown with bookings and records of everyone at their venues, should be open. I feel the same way about cafes and res...taurants that collect customer data and manage their business in a COVID safe way. To me opening these activities makes much more sense than unregulated visits to other peoples homes, packing out local parks because of limited leisure options. If you feel the same way, encourage more people to sign - there is pressure building to re-evaluate the roadmap, and our petition reinforces that pressure. Finally, I have attached a link to the podcast which was on the First Serve on SEN last night. Thanks to the host Brett Phillips, who took my call and gave his strong support to our cause. The podcast isn't too long and I am on around 30 minutes in. See more

02.01.2022 New social in-house competition - https://mailchi.mp/6cc2fc8/wlmtc-competition-update-2911665

02.01.2022 Here's the petition postcode breakdown-the last image cut off after 3046!

01.01.2022 Breaking news - looks like there are 85 postcodes in Victoria where only 1 person plays tennis!! Check out how your postcode has responded and if you think your numbers are low, then share the petition again. Most clubs have many more members, let alone the people that get coaching who aren't club members. It's up to us to let them know about the petition, as they most likely aren't on this page. People need to see things more than once - and you need to let them know why t...his is important to you to get their support. Don't forget, its not a done deal that we will open up Oct 19th.

01.01.2022 Increasing a little bit, but this has really slowed down over the past 24 hours. Still aiming to get over 5,000! If you can share and share again that would be great.
