1980 was a busy year for the club still under the Presidency of John Goss.

Two new courts were constructed (Mr. LeLevre) and security fencing was erected. Many successful social and fund-raising activities were held including a presentation night at the Villa Borghese which was well attended by 130 members and friends.

With a healthy bank balance of $19,000 in 1981, a large growth in membership, and loan assistance available from the council, arrangements were made for the construction of our present clubrooms (Maurice Firth). A great social night was held for the official opening, highlighted by delivery of a flim-flam telegram from a girl who trudged ankle deep in mud from the car park to make her grand entrance.
