being suspended from Promato as they have had ample time to pay their subs. Currently 357
members at Greendale Tennis Club.

event. Biggest in the country! Throwing the idea around of possibility holding a Winter junior

Luke, running Cardio sessions and helping him with some privates due to the big numbers now at

entrance.
- Tennis Eastern - Player academy in talks. Fundraising race night scheduled in but dates
are going to have to be changed.
