Saint Bernadette's Tennis Club
West Ivanhoe, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.*

Who are we and what is tennis like in suburban Melbourne?

Would you like to know a bit about our coaching? Local Interest only, one presumes.

 

I also run a page for Sacred Heart, Kew. (And I'm a member at St John's Catholic club, Heidelberg.)

Tennis Victoria is offering to host web pages for tennis clubs.

 

Some stereo pictures.

I have a stereo camera, which I use occasionally. I have printed red-green versions of my last lot, so if you have a pair of red-green glasses lying around, you can browse through them here. Nothing to do with the tennis club, but I thought I'd throw them in! The ones on the last pages are quite big files, but I thought I would try them, and they uploaded!

We are into Term 4. The Saturday Heidelberg District team is into a new season, but the night tennis season and the juniors are finished the Spring season.

Our boys' doubles team finished the season in fourth spot, but gave the top team a fright in the semifinal.

This team is disbanding for next season, but another seems to have sprung into existence to take its place!

In the night tennis, only the top men's team, section 5, made the finals, but they were beaten in the semifinal. No pennants this half-year!

The Restrictions....

Stage 3a is still currently running. Somewhat to our surprise, we can still water half our courts. We have removed the nets from one, which is in very poor condition (sunk), and taken the hose away. You can water courts 1 and 2 before each set, but not after! We should not have to water as often though.

It is good for the courts to be played on and watered in these times. I am a member of three clubs, and our courts are seriously worse than the other two, because they are not being used.

Members.

Numbers have increased a bit, but a lot of those playing are not members! But as we have declined from ten teams in the juniors a few seasons ago, to one next season, numbers are not looking good! In fact, as I write we have Nick Bell and the Coles family, Monique and Francoise, and our trusty band of life members! With luck this will improve as the night season starts!


It was pointed out to me that someone may want to ring someone to make contact!
