Rain washed out The Combined Age Championships on Saturday and Sunday.

The courts were very damp on Sunday Morning and several pairs had already withdrawn from the event so it was decided to play the Combined 100 Mixed next Sunday.

All pairs entered for Saturday and Sunday will be entered for next weekend unless you tell me otherwise.

MENS 40 DOUBLES NOON SATURDAY MARCH 6

MENS 60 DOUBLES 11.30AM SATURDAY MARCH 6

LADIES 40 DOUBLES 11.30AM SATURDAY MARCH 6 WITH A STAGGERED START UNTIL 2 COURTS AVAILABLE

COMBINED 100 MIXED 9.30AM SUNDAY MARCH 7

Badge Teams will be entered this week and we have 6 Mens’ Teams and 3 Ladies Teams.

Thursday Ladies will have 1 Team.

By having less teams this year we will have 2 courts weekly and  4 courts available each fortnight for Social Tennis.

Paul Wigney’s Funeral was attended on Friday by a large number of people with MLTC members prominent.

Many eulogies were given about Paul’s long and interesting life. He was always smiling and willing to help and assist in all aspects of his life. He will be sorely missed.

Ron Jeff’s is recovering in hospital, we all want to wish him a quick recovery and look forward to seeing him on the courts soon.

CPR Course

We’d like to thank the 16 members who came along to the CPR training day with Surf Lifesaving NSW earlier in Feb. It’s fantastic to have more members who know how to perform CPR and how to use the de-fib machine (located on the wall outside the bar). All course attendees should now have received their e-certificate from Sarah. We hope to run another course in a year’s time.

Best wishes,
