TENNIS NOTES

Owing to the inclement weather the opening on Saturday was rather dull. But in spite of the weather a fair number of local members were present, also a number of visitors from Bulls. Even though no one was able to play, the very nice afternoon tea provided by the ladies helped every one to try and forget the weather. Bulls are holding their opening day to-morrow (12th inst.), and invite any local members to be present who would care to go. Longburn are holding their opening on Saturday, 15th inst., and it is to be hoped a number of local members will endeavour to be present. Any member desirous of going is requested to place their name on the notice board at the pavilion before next Friday mid-day. The following are the handicaps for the Robinson Ferns competition.
