Comings and Goings - Good luck to David Ford on recovering from his shoulder operation.....great to see Andrew Carnegie coming down to the club and getting more and more mobile......club coach Mark Leuba is off to Scandanavia for a break....welcome back to Rhys Johnson after a successful stink in the US on a tennis scholarship with Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.....we have 2 players leaving soon on tennis scholarships to the US with Sally Partington off to Oregon and Anja Dokic going to Colorado....Nathan Sullivan is off to Queensland on holiday

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 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...) breakin...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• The asbestos in the Captains Room has been replaced by the South Perth Council
