All players who are interested in entering are to write their names on the board before the closing date of Thursday, September 21.
This weekend our much anticipated seniors over 35s tournament will be held over both Saturday and Sunday.
The organising match committee has been working very hard in readiness for this event, which includes receiving entries from players all over the state.
We are now hoping for the weather to be extra kind to us.
There will definitely be plenty of great tennis on display, so we invite anyone who would like to watch to come down to our complex in Warrendine Street.
Because of the tournament taking up the entire weekend there will no mixed social tennis played on Sunday, but that competition will kick back off again the following weekend.
In the school holidays later this month we will be running coaching clinics for the kids, over both weeks.
