The coronavirus threat has forced the NAC Tennis Club to consider the possiblity of closing the court as it is a place where people get together in a group.

However, we have decided to keep the facility open as long as Government and regulatory agencies allow so that members of our community can have a break from social confinement and get some fresh air and exercise.

Get Your Racquet ON!

With no contentious issues to resolve, the Club's general meeting ran smoothly. A small but regular group of people play frequently and attend the general meetings. A visit by people from Tennis NSW towards the end of last year confirmed that the club was exceptionally well run and congratulated Clyub Presidemt, Peter Chappelow, on his Governance Calendar which may be adopted for statewide use. There's always room for new players - just turn up at 9.00 am on Saturday for a game. See below for the minutes for the general meeting held on 4 April.

The Annual General Meeting was held 7 October with the following people elected/re-elected:

President: Peter Chappelow
Vice President: to be appointed
Secretary: Susan Carter
Treasurer: Sue Anderson
Committee Member: Sandy Chappelow
Committee Member: Julie McGloin

A vote of thanks was made for the voluntary service put in over the past 12 months by the outgoing Committee, which I soundly endorse. Volunteers are the backbone of the community and provide many services and support which would simply not be available....
