Greetings, and welcome to Winter Tennis in Healesville.

Congratulations to all players. (Details page 3 &4).

BUNNINGS SAUSAGE SIZZLE
Our Sunday 29th March sausage sizzle was a great
success, with a number of tennis club members assisting for the first time. We made a profit of
$1777.55. My sincere thanks to members who assisted
on the day including, Peter Brown, Dot McMaster,
Anne & John Knibbs, Chris Wittkopp, Kathy, Ruth
and Robert Cameron, Irene Leonard and Phil
Kehoe. Our next Sausage Sizzle is on Friday 29th May
Please ring me 5962 5493 if you are able to assist.
SENIOR CONVENOR’S REPORT
We have entered 3 teams into the ERT Winter
Saturday competition, They are Open Sections 3 and
5 and singles/doubles section 3. At this stage, the two
section 3 teams are holding their own and doing quite
well, but the section 5 team is struggling, as we had
requested a considerably lower section for this team to
enable us to give some younger players senior experience, and allow some of our older players to participate as well. Best wishes for an enjoyable season.
Alan Honeycombe 5962 5493.
JUNIOR CONVENOR REPORT
For Summer ERT Junior finals results please see pg 3.
The 2015 Winter Season commenced on 18th April,

new junior members to our club: Tom Holloway and
Ethan Nikcevich. Good luck to all our juniors for the
winter season ~ Cathryn Cosson
