Sam's high performance together with her dedication to her team by participating in the majority of home and away matches this season has been recognised by Tennis Victoria. The presentation will take place on 18 November at Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club.

Seeking expressions of interest for players to form an East Malvern team for the season planned to commence on 4 February and run for 6-7 weeks, concluding in mid March. TV are limiting team entries and giving preference to clubs based in the northern and western suburbs of Melbourne so there would be some extra travel involved. Matches will be played on Sunday afternoons.
To register your interest, please contact Mark Stevens markstevens256@gmail.com by Thursday 12 October.

A warm invitation is extended to our members to participate in the Parent & Child Tournament run by Jake from Futures.

Entries close Thursday 30 November.

Come along for a hit from 1.00pm and then join us with pizzas and drinks provided from 4.30pm. Free event for club members.

Jordan has been a wonderful help working quietly and diligently in the office each week for the last 4 years getting everything ready for night and weekend competition, banking and lots of other administrative tasks. We wish Jordan all the very best in her new full time government role.
