Vale Cath Teehan

Tim Benton

Dear Members,

Unfortunately we have been given the sad news of the passing of long-time member of the club Cath Teehan – apologies for the delay in this letter to members, as this did occur a week or so back.
Cath was a great person, who had a passion for the game of tennis and was actively playing into her more senior years.

I personally recall playing Saturday afternoon competition with Cath as a young 17 year old!

Never a bad word was spoken by Cath on the court and her willingness to accept such younger and “still learning” players was a credit to her. She was always having a laugh with her team members and was a very capable player in her own right. She was always helping out around the club and contributing in any way she could.

Unfortunately I can’t speak too much more for her outside my own personal experiences, but I am sure there are a few members at the club still that will recall and cherish her as a person and as a long time loyal member of our great club.

As always, as part of our DGTC family, she will be sadly missed.

Regards,

Aaron Sharpe
President
Doutta Galla Tennis club

AGM

Aaron Sharpe

Hi everyone,

This coming Sunday the 7th of July @ 7:30pm is the Annual General Meeting in the clubhouse.

All are welcome and I encourage members to come down and get some insight into the last 12 months and how the club runs from the inside!

This year is very important as there may be a few committee members stepping aside and if there are any members who are interested in becoming part of the committee, we encourage this too.  Sometimes a fresh view or different take on how things work is a good thing.

There really isn’t a lot of work that goes into being part of the committee, for a small club it is pretty well maintained, so don’t be afraid!

We look forward to hopefully seeing a few of you down at the club.
