There are no shortage of great ideas for our Club. Almost all, require a lot of money. Unless someone has a lazy $2,000,000 lying around, we need money from the Council and others. Julie Kealey is heading the charge here.
We have a medium term plan to upgrade all our courts to something that drains better, wears well and gives more playing time. There will be a dedicated task force around this. We also want to add "Hot Shot" Courts as part of our Family Club approach.
The Carpark remains a challenge as VicRoads owns it. They would sell it, but the price tag is unmanageable. .
After that, comes the Clubhouse and surrounds.
We would also welcome ideas to retain the "Lost Generation of Tennis Players". I am referring to the 18 - 30 year olds.
We have Paul Lidgerwood sorting out sponsorships, and we will keep you informed. We will have new signage as part of this initiative.
The pool remains very popular and we will continue to enhance it.
Please take the time to offer any of the Committee constructive suggestions. The second round will be on you.
If you love playing tennis, EMTC is the place to be.
