THE Coolum Tennis Committee was pleased to welcome Sunshine Coast Councillor Steve Robinson to inspect the building that Sunshine Coast Regional Council contributed to.
Project organiser Doug Bosworth along with club president Des Adsett and club secretary Noelene Cook showed off the building that has already been put to good use.
It was a great chance to also show how well patronised the centre is, with all courts in use and potential hirers turned away for lack of space.
Following in the wake of our recent visitors, the club welcomed Alan and Margret Hale for a fortnight.
Alan is still an active member and helps in an advisory capacity dealing with our business plan, constitution and coach’s contract. His input is invaluable. Alan was also able to meet new members and have several games of tennis during his visit.
Margret is back playing after a shoulder injury and she enjoyed some hard- fought social matches. The club hopes to see them regularly in the future.
With such a well-used centre, the club likes to have the courts looking good. It was pleasing that the club’s new court signs have finally arrived and are now installed.
The club hopes to have all the boards and the gate notices up to date in the near future. Zac and Henry are waiting for fine weather to oil our deck. There are plenty of other jobs that need doing. Check the job board. Thanks to the social girls who help with the weeding. A little bit regularly makes large working bees unnecessary and keeps the centre looking good.
Holiday coaching is still available. Ring Andrew on 0421 391 505 or email him at coolum@ashtennis.com if you are interested in joining a program during the holidays. There are spaces available for all ages from three to mature adult.
