A special thank you to Graeme Gillen, Trevor Smith, Len Pratt, & Mark Collins for your attendance and contributions to the very successful and enjoyable day.

Cameron Turnbull & Graeme Sheehan helped out when all was nearly lost with BBQ & food prep whilst Doug Sowden enjoyed his position of power with a period as Court Marshall.

I know it is early days but please lodge your 2019 Autumn Entry Form as soon as possible, preferably by completing it electronically.
First match on 30^th January 2019.
We want to hear from players interested in changing teams or joining a team and from teams looking for an extra player.

5 Player Team Option Growing to 6 Player Team Option

As announced on GF day we are planning to extend the very successful 5 player team arrangement to allow 6 players. Watch for details early in the new year.

Wednesday Morning Social Tennis

Social tennis from next week at 9.00am + at Glen Waverley, Burden Park and 10.00am at Whites Lane with special invitation to C, C Sp & B Graders.

Please do what you can to recruit new players. We are keen to welcome a couple more big guns and have a need for several players in the C Sp & B grade zone where we hope to add several new teams.

Statistic of Interest from the Spring 2018 Season:

On 119 occasions players helped out as an emergency for another Club [compared to 53 in Autumn 2018]. Each week with a bye there was approximately 25 players 'rostered' out that is 375 'rostering outs' for the H & A season.

Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Regards,
Lindsay Coster
MWM Convenor
