Racquets and Rhythms Social Night 28 June
We had a strong turnout for our social night, with 65 members and guests enjoying a terrific night of live music, a toasty fire, novelty games, and plenty of tennis, with every court full of tennis. Check out some of the action on our Facebook page. We have had wonderful feedback from those who attended, so look out for our next one.
Lighting Project
The Committee is liaising closely with the Council on plans and next steps for this major and transformational infrastructure project. We will be installing new LED lighting on all courts, as well as new fencing where required. With the project in the early planning stages, more information will follow in the coming months.
Club Survey
Thank you to all members who responded to the club survey. All of the responses are very useful in helping the Committee to create a better club for all members.
Congratulations to Jim Pumpa, who won the random draw from responders for the club shirt prize.
ASF Fundraising - new court seating!
All members will have recently received an email with more information on our new tennis court seating at Heathmont. This initiative aims to install two new bench seats per court.

Next working bee: Sunday, July 20, 9am to 11:30am
There are always plenty of things to fix up at working bees, big and small. We need the help of all members! The more we can get done at the working bees, the better the club will look, and this allows us to keep membership rate increases to a minimum.
