Our Volunteers

Adult / Intermediate Members:

It is the energy, enthusiasm and generosity of our volunteers that make our Club the gem it is. Many, many thanks to all who contribute each season. The fun we have on and off the courts would not be possible without you! We hope you all, as part of your hard work, have a good time and enjoy some laughs and build some friendships and good memories along the way.

We are always looking for volunteers… here are some ideas and the person to contact should you be able to donate a few hours.

Our Volunteers…

Many thanks to all those who pitch in to make our Club, clubhouse and courts into such a wonderful spot to play our favourite sport and enjoy each others company. Special mention for 2019:

House League: A special thank you to the Captains for all the hard work that they put in through the whole summer, making sure team members get to play, avoiding a dreaded default and putting together compatible line ups. A special thank you to our scribe, Harvey Gold, for keeping tabs on all the scores and to Mark Rintoul for keeping it all running smoothly.

Our InterClub Team Captains: Our team members enjoyed many a fun match because of the organization and effort put in by our team captains.

ShrimpFest Extravaganza: Once again our South African members pulled off an amazing meal and party. Thank you to the very brave Wulffharts (Benjie and Marion), delicious!

It looks great because of the behind-the-scenes efforts managed by Anna Caton, with help from Anita Strauss, Dennis Ing, Janet Blair, Cecelia Thng, Margot Willoughby.

Launching our online court booking system: This took a relay team to get done – starting with great advice from member, Andre Velloso, researched by David Douglas, Deb Hoffnung, Tony Ercolani and Margot Willoughby, tested by Molly Greenwood, Aurelia Zvan and Shelley Alton and set up by Karen Brown, with help from Dennis Ing.

Capturing the moments: A big huge special thanks to Frank Nagy for the spectacular photos taken throughout the season. He magically made us all look good!
