PRESIDENTS REPORT
Welcome back to the business end of the season. It will be a busy part of our season with our junior regional tournament on February 28th with Tennis Australia coach Colin Ebelthite in attendance as part of his role with Tennis SA as the regional coach. We will also have our major raffle fundraiser for the year. Players will be expected to sell a book of 10 tickets for $2 per ticket with some fantastic prizes donated by our sponsors. For the first time we will be having the junior grand final on a Thursday night which will be followed by pizzasdonated by Dominos to celebrate the end of the season. The committee is also very excited to be successful in the Active Club grant getting $4200 which we are purchasing a pressure cleaner to clean our courts. Thanks to this years committee who have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Please note when the AGM is and nominate to come on our committee. We have a large committee so that work, ideas and decisions are spread across many people
