Court Utilisation
|
With the beautiful weather bringing many Members and Guests to the Courts, we’d like to remind everyone to be mindful of their Bookings, especially during peak evening times.
|
- Please Book for the Time you are using the Courts. We know people can run late but please adjust your booking times as your day changes so Courts don't sit empty during peak times.
- Please Cancel your Booking if you can no longer make it.
- You must add Guests that are not Members to your Booking and ensure that they pay the Guest fee. It's important everyone contributes to the wear and tear of the Courts and not just Members.
- Please close the Gates and the Sliding Door when you leave.
|
Rest assured, the Committee is monitoring Court Bookings and will continue to review things to ensure a great experience for all Members.

Committee Update
|
It is with regret that we announce Paula Izzard has decided to step down from her position on the Committee, as she makes changes to her living arrangements.
|
Paula has sold her house here in Auckland and will be spending half of the year overseas with her family in Charlotte NC and the other half in Auckland. Though bittersweet for us, we wholeheartedly support and understand.
|
|
We thank Paula for her invaluable contributions and wish her the best in this new chapter. We also look forward to her continued engagement with the Club in the future.
|
|
Volunteers
As you may know, our Club is a non-profit organization that relies on volunteers to support our activities and facilities maintenance.
|
A big thank you to all of the hard-working volunteers that support the Club on an ongoing basis!
|
Special thank you to Maria and David Bradshaw and our Committee Members that helped out with the FREE Wednesday Sessions we hosted in February. David and Maria have also been helping with regular gardening too.
|
Special thank you also to Jack Tulp who is helping with weeding around all of the Club grounds 4 hours/month for 3 months as his Voluntary Service section of the Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze Award.
|
|
The Club always welcomes volunteer efforts, so if you would like to volunteer some of your time to support us, please get in touch.
