The tennis club isn’t just about on-court play. We also like to get together socially for a pizza night at the community centre. At a general meeting on April 27 (see minutes below) the members decided that for the rest of the year it would be scheduled, when possible, for the first Saturday of the month, starting on May 6th. This was a great success. It also provided the opportunity for the club to hold another general meeting (see minutes below) to deal with several matters from the previous meeting. No decision has been made as yet whether to hold the next pizza night in June or July.
You can read the minutes of the last two general meetings below.

TREASURER’S REPORT
Sue Anderson reported that the term deposit is now $1162.58 and on 18 February was reinvested for six months.
There was discussion about the need to top up the Term Deposit so that we have some funds to contribute to Council when the court needs resurfacing. Ken Duffey explained it is our custom to keep in our working account sufficient funds for the algae spray (Kenocide), net maintenance and insurance and invest the rest.
Sue further reported that she had obtained the forms necessary to initiate a change of signatories. Ken will complete the form by 30 June when his resignation takes effect.
GENERAL BUSINESS
The successful restart of Saturday tennis was noted – with six players. It was agreed that on 27 May, the start time would move to 9 am. This avoids a clash with the Biggest Morning Tea on 20 May.
