Ōmokoroa Community Tennis Club

- By Therese Temple

Our membership has been steadily increasing and we are seeing this reality at our club days. Tuesday night had twenty-six members along to play, so ten were sitting out waiting their turn. Not all bad, as there was lots of chat and those sitting out got to watch some good tennis. It highlights the need for the new courts to come to fruition and I’m sure there will be lots of discussion at our committee meetings.

Still very popular. The sessions are as follows, on Mondays at 6pm. February 14th to March 7th. March 21st to April 11th. The cost is $42 for members and $63 for non-members. Please book via the OCTC website, as numbers are limited.

Don’t forget to book our ball machine. $20 a month gets you all-you-can-use. A few sessions with the ball machine will improve that backhand or the smash you’ve always wanted. Or you can pay $10 per hour. Book using our “Book a Court” system, via our website.

If you’d like to introduce new members, bring them along to one of our club days and introduce them to a few players. We look forward to seeing you on court.
