Dear Members,

I am delighted that members present and voting at the Monday 25 April Special General Meeting (SGM), gave the green light to proceed w/ith the Upgrading and Development of the Club's Master Plan \with a resounding

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,

1 sincerely thank all members who turned out for the SGM and I am pleased to report that the spirit of the views discussed, for and against, were along the lines of High Court Judge VK Rajah's comments in his conclusion of the recent court case. He urged members to "calmly and sensibly take stock current entanglement... and act collectively with immediacy to reconcile their differences".

I know many of you are keen to have our pool open again. Thank you for your patience, I am sure you will enjoy the new surrounds and newly

This was done. We can now move forward with certainty and get on with

renovated men's changing rooms. Let's also thank the Hollandse Club and

the project of construction. We are about ready to call for tenders and begin

Your presence Is needed to elect and support the General Committee. The GC will provide a performance report for the last 12 months' work and a proposed rule change to Rule 458 disputes; consultation; conciliation, mediation, arbitration and legal proceedings.

Spanish Flamenco Evening Friday 8 April 2005 "Ole!" It's Flamenco Night! The stream of lovely ladies with roses and carnations of red and white in their hair really

When the commencement of the buffet was announced, it

suddenly seemed rather quiet as people milled around the beautiful spread on the tables. We were really spoilt for choice. There were Chilled Tomato Gazpacho, Seafood Paella, Snails In Light Spiced Sauce just to name a few, and

to top it all was the pallela which I myself can never resist.

The evening was not over yet as the Latino band took over the stage and the crowd took over the dance floor with their

variety of Latin steps. They Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Mambo, Salsa and Merengue into the wee hours of Saturday morning.

demanding, hot, conditions, and Geoffrey Tan triumphed in the end, 6-2 6-3.

The remaining two events, Mixed Doubles, and Men's Doubles, were played in a round robin

between Ping Tom Chek and Lynette Seow. The match was an extremely tight affair being only decided in the last game, which saw Lynette Seow come out on top.

We'd like to thank all the kids for coming out and playing, and, especially those taking their first steps in competetive play.

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
