Court Two at the Club will be closed until further notice as it is in need of repair.
High winds have removed all sand from the court and it is not safe for play.
The Committee will advise when the court is available again. Please contact the Committee if you have any questions.
The Club’s Christmas Party is scheduled for Saturday the 5th of December from 6:30pm at the Club House. All Members are welcome to attend for a final catch up before the end of the year.
Also on the night the Club Champions will be presented with their trophies and there will be a Juniors Presentation for the Junior teams.
The Club will provide a barbecue along with some beer and snacks. Members are asked to bring their own Wine, Soft Drink or any other drinks as well as a plate to share. A racquet would also be handy if you want to have a hit.
The committee looks forward to seeing everyone there.

The NSNTA Autumn 2016 Season commences in early February.
The NSNTA Spring Season for 2015 has drawn to a close and unfortunately no Doutta Galla team has made the finals, which has not occurred for many, many years.
However please be aware that the Club will be hosting Semi Finals this week, therefore two courts will be in use on these nights, with the Ladies B Reserve 1 team hosting on Tuesday Night (17th November) and the Mens C Special 3 team hosting on Thursday Night (19th November).
Thanks to all teams for a great season, and I think everyone is looking forward to starting fresh next season.

It sad to have to report the passing of a former member and 2003 Junior boys club champion in Michael Hennessy. Unfortunately Michael was involved in a motor vehicle accident late last week and we wish the best to his family and friends.
Michael was always a happy and likable person and had great friendships with all the other juniors and members he played tennis with at the club. Michael was also an assistant coach at the club for a number of years. While Michael hadn’t been involved with the club for a number of years, as a former member and club champion, I feel its warranted for us to pay our respects. Such a sad story.
The Club’s Working Bee will be held on Sunday the 25th of October at 1pm. The Committee asks that as many members as possible attend to help maintain the Club and keep our Club beautiful.
Members that attend are entitled to receive their $30 maintenance levy back.
