'Love Tennis' party proves a hit

How to host a ‘Love Tennis’ party: one keen committee, some helpful tennis members, then add in a willing DJ, some great local sponsorship and we rocked the weekend away. Our ‘Love Tennis’ weekend was a hit, (excuse the pun) especially on the Sunday when the locals really came out to play. The ball machine was in great demand, everyone wanting to see if they could hit ten balls in a row to gain a prize. The kids’ mini courts were in full swing as mums and dads battled it out with their kids. At 2.30 each day kids filled their pockets with lollies, sponsored by Fresh Choice. Coach, Peter O’Dea handed out free tennis tips and everyone tried to hit the targets on court four or just have a hit at tennis. Thank you to the committee and members who helped. We had a professional DJ give up his entire weekend to play music, promote the weekend and thank our sponsors. Thank you so much Richard Pateman. You created the perfect atmosphere for our ‘Love Tennis’ weekend.

Thank you to all our sponsors who supported ‘Love Tennis’: Fresh Choice; Ōmokoroa Pharmacy; Tremains; Neighbourhood Pizzeria; Ōmokoroa Physio; Skippers Restaurant.

Bring on 2021 as we think this is a good opportunity to have an open weekend each year for our club to promote tennis.

Ōmokoroa Tennis Club has installed a new gate system. It means anyone in the community can play tennis. Just book a court on https://omokoroatennis.com/ and click on the ‘Book a Court’ link. Follow the instructions after that. If you are a member there will be no payment and if you are not a member it will ask you for payment. A great opportunity for the public to use the courts.
