Board Developments:

• We have been unsuccessful in obtaining a grant to resurface the 3 hardcourts in front of the clubhouse. We have reapplied for a grant and will hopefully be able to get this much needed work done during January. We have the support of the South Perth Council and are now waiting on the Department of Sport and Recreation.
• We are in the process of installing an electronic court booking system - this will help us make the premises more secure, cut down on people using the courts without paying and provide an avenue to market to local tennis players.
• We have suffered (yet another...) break-in...this time our lawnmowers etc were stolen...we have suffered a number of break-ins this year and are looking to make th epremises more secure....
• The asbestos in the Captains Room has been replaced by the South Perth Council
