Raetihi tennis opening
The opening of the Raetihi Tennis Club was held on Saturday 19 October in beautiful sunny weather. About 30 attended the opening which began with a Yankee TOurnament, and a lot of fun was had by all. The tournament was won by Joseph Cribb and Faith Wise. Feature of the day was the attendance of all nine life members: Ivan Laskey who made the trip especially from Wanganui, Nancy and Rex Winter, Cath and Alan Bowater, Pauline and Noel LeNoel and Faith andi Daude Wise. It was the first time that all were able to attend on an opening day.
It is hoped that the club will attract new members and anyone wishing to join is welcome. Club times are Saturday and Sunday afternoons, Tuesday evenings, and juniors on Saturday mornings. The annual general meeting of the club was held Monday 21 October at Dalgety Crown rooms and the following officers were elected for the coming season: Patron, Faith Wise; President, Noel LeNoel; Vice President, Lance Langdon; Secretary, Faith Wise; Treasurer, Nancy Winter; Club Captain, Alan Bowater; Vice Club Captain, Mike Hogan; Committee, Moira Haitana, Dawn Hinana, Michelle Seebeck, Elizabeth
Penny, John Mcllroy; Junior coach, Nancy Winter; Wednesday ladies, Moira Haitana. Unfortunately subscriptions had to be raised for the first time for many years and are as follows: Senior men and women $20, married couple $23, family (husband, wife and 2 or more children) $25, intermediate $12, junior $4, country $10. The club has decided to spend $600 on upgrading the nets. Courts are available to the public and the court fees have been raised to 50e. Members and the general public are asked to respect the tennis courts and look after them as they are a great asset to our community.
