Adult Night Comp

In the Bayside adult night competition our teams in Sections 3 and 4 both played well. Our Section 3 team made the Grand Final, but unfortunately it was abandoned after two washouts.  The next season is due to start on 12 July – if you wish to play, please quickly contact Gaurav Jain on 0497 569 574 gauravjainprince@gmail.com

Club Works

We hope that the lights upgrade (to LED) and resurfacing Courts 1 and 2 (with Tiger Turf artificial grass) can be completed by September. The works are expected to be done quickly with minimal disruption. The total costs will be about $110,000 – with our Club contributing $90,000 and the balance being met by a State Government grant.  

Key Roles and Contact Details

A revised list of our Club’s Committee, Roles and Contact Details is on the Contacts page. We also now have a Child Safety Officer (Rosy Renwick rosy.renwick@gmail.com) – more details soon.
