vote for the Modified Design, and an estimated expenditure of $21 million. I believe this vote to be a forward thinking progressive vote for our Club's future and to enable the Club to retain its premier status for many years to come,

He urged members to "calmly and sensibly take stock current entanglement... and act collectively with immediacy to reconcile their differences".

Sunday 10 April saw four courts taken over by many of our young members who were able to play in a fun junior tennis tournament.
For many, it was their first taste of tournament play, and there certainly were many nervous young players eagerly pacing around waiting to play their first match. One young player had to call her father in Italy for calming
words just as she was going on court. Sure enough, once her match had started, she was eager to play more and more, which was the common enthusiasm shown by all the kids competing. The format was a mixture of boys and girls and allowed everyone to play a minimum of three matches. The final of the tournament was fought out
