The small club with a big serve

During the quiet days of Covid-19, very little has been happening at our club. However, at Level 2, we have been able to hold club days again – our first one held on Tuesday evening 19th May attracted 9 participants. Fifteen attended on Saturday. By all accounts, the tennis was very enjoyable – and there were no injuries to bodies that had not been playing for several weeks.

During Level 2 we are limiting numbers at Club Day to 16 – two groups of 8 each. People have to register in advance with our Club Chairperson Andrew Dallas to ensure we don’t get more than 16 turning up. All players must check-in using a contact tracing tool supplied by Tennis NZ. Hand sanitiser is supplied, and high-touch surfaces are disinfected by volunteers on a daily basis.

As we emerge into Level 1 (hopefully soon) and we can be much freer about gatherings and sanitisation, we are planning with Coach Pete to hold more tennis fitness sessions.

Our Club Championships have unfortunately been cancelled for the year – we are going to engrave all the winners’ cups with “2020 – Covid-19” – the winner on the day, sadly. We are planning to hold some kind of club league or tournament, so our members don’t miss out on the chance to compete against each other. So keep your eye on our website for more information about this.

We have set our AGM for 7pm Wednesday 1st July – venue to be confirmed.

Well, that’s all folks. Stay well, enjoy your increasing social freedom and remember, if you want to improve your fitness while having some fun please do consider joining our club. You can try us out by attending one of our club days – it will cost you only $6.
