THE LAWN

Dear Members,

Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to you all.

 

As the year draws to a close, we’d like to take a moment to thank you for being such an important part of our tennis club community. Your enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and support are what make the club such a welcoming and enjoyable place to play.

A big thanks to our Manager Feleti and his non stop activities and skills at making each event perfect, as well as running the club with enthusiastic energy.

We hope the festive season brings you time to relax, recharge, and enjoy moments with family and friends. Whether you’re picking up a racket over the holidays or taking a well-earned rest, we wish you good health, happiness, and plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. We’re looking forward to seeing you back on court in the new year and sharing another great season of tennis together.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.

Warm regards,
The PLTC Committee

 

ROUND UP

As we prepare for Christmas Day, I have taken a very quick kook at the last few weeks and what's up. Also as we prepare for next year and also taking a break for a few days.

A big week last week with the Michael Venus Serve with Working Style.

An absolutely  huge event with some excellent tennis. It was soo much fun that we can't wait for next year!

Thanks you to Chris Dobbs and his team for supporting the club.  

Some pics below.

Also a big thanks to the “helpers” who quietly went behind the scenes to assist with all the working parts and especially Feleti, our star of the moving parts.

 

The Heineken Silver set up has  been a terrific boost to the club. Again, more people getting the opportunity to see the club and perhaps join up and have some fun. More events to come in 2026.

KARAOKE NIGHT

From all accounts, the karaoke night was a total success, with many laughs and much talent was on display.  Thanks to Liz and her team who made it such a fun night for many. Keep a look out for the next one - it's such a blast. Pics below

 

THE ASB CLASSIC
