The Club’s Christmas Party has been scheduled for Saturday the 6th of December from 6:30pm at the Club House.
Details are to follow closer to the date.
Thanks to all of the Members who came down to assist with the Club’s Working Bee two weekends ago.
The club is looking great: the Kitchen and inside the Club was cleaned thoroughly; the Garden was weeded and cleaned; the club’s surroundings cleaned and a great deal of sand was placed back on the courts.
The assistance of those that attended was greatly appreciated.
Just a reminder that the Club’s Working Bee is to be held this Sunday the 19th of October from 12pm at the Club. Members that attend and assist are entitled to receive their Maintenance Levy back from the Club.
Any gardening tools that you can bring would be greatly appreciated as there is much to do.

The NSNTA have requested that the following message be sent to all NSNTA Teams regarding the use of the Comments field when entering match results online:
The Association has recently received a number of complaints from teams and players about inappropriate comments that have been included in online match results. Once alerted to these comments, the Competition Coordinators quickly delete them, however, the damage is often already done as they have been seen by other teams and players.
The comments box on the online results form is a space for teams to enter additional information relevant to the result, such as details of substitute players, lighting failure, washouts or walkovers. However, some teams have been using this box to add a commentary about the match. Whilst comments stating players had a good night, or it was a close match, are not a concern, other comments have the potential to cause offence to the opposing team.
Examples of inappropriate comments included recently are complaints that the opposition did not stay for supper, complaints the team only had one court and it was a late night and comments about racquet throwing or balls being hit out of the court. Some comments have been even more inappropriate making specific comments about the actions or alleged poor behaviour of particular players.
We request that you pass this letter on to all your Club’s NSNTA teams and remind them of the correct use of the comments box. If players have other issues that they wish to bring to the attention of the NSNTA, they should contact their Club Delegate, who can then forward the complaint on to the NSNTA Match and Permit Committee through the appropriate channels.
The Doutta Galla Committee agrees with the statement provided by the NSNTA. Any Members with any Issues to take up with the NSNTA please contact the Doutta Galla Committee via Email or by the Contact Details listed on DouttaGalla.com.
