Visit from Bacchus Marsh Tennis Club

On Wednesday, 14th, several ladies from Bacchus Marsh enjoyed a morning of social tennis  with Phillip Island Tennis Club members at our courts.

The visiting ladies were on the Island for three days, staying at the Ventnor holiday  home of one one of their members. It is the first time since 2017

that thet have come, as this former annual event hadn’t been organized since COVID  which upset so many other plans.

Thanks to Alison and Mandy  for organizing the morning’s  competitive tennis which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.  A delicious lunch, provided by the locals, topped off a pleasant time, before our visitors needed to leave for home, hoping to beat the worst of Melbourne’s traffic.

Hopefully this event can become a regular activity once again.

Seniors Week/Month Events

The club conducted a social event for all seniors (club members and non-club members) with a Round Robin to celebrate Seniors Week. The event was held from 9am to 12 noon on Sunday 26 October. Whilst the "severe weather" alert may have deterred many from attending, twelve "seniors" showed up, and the weather (mostly) held up so they were able to get a couple of hours of tennis in and enjoy a great morning tea and a game of "cornhole" during a 30 minute "light rain" break.  

In addition to this one-off event, for the whole month of October the club welcomed non-members to join our social tennis sessions on Thursday mornings at 9:30am, Thursday afternoons at 1:00pm, and Saturday afternoons at 1:00pm.
