It was great to have Clive and Carine Botha gracing our courts again for social tennis. Sadly, they have now returned to Parys so we shall not see them for a while.

The club welcomes a new junior member, Ethan Holden-Smith, and we wish him and his family many happy hours on the courts.

Members wish Wendy Smith a very happy birthday on the 4th and lots of enjoyable tennis in the year ahead.

Saturday duty: July 3 – Rob Browne; July 10 – Morgan Reddy.
