There is still some areas to develop and complete, but we now have a fantastic environment to attract the world’s best players, which in turn draws increasing numbers of passionate tennis fans to support the tournaments. Many will recall the fiscal challenges presented by our Chairman Alan Chester at the last AGM. On behalf of the clubs, I congratulate the Board and the management of Tennis Auckland on such a swift and effective recovery. This was achieved with little or no pain on the clubs. The vibrancy of debate in recent months around the plans articulated by Tennis New Zealand has been most encouraging. The clubs have made significant contributions with intelligent and well thought through perspectives. This has facilitated an open and constructive engagement on their plans forward and we all feel we are part of that journey. Sadly, I note the passing in the last year of two outstanding Past Presidents. Nonie Kiely, was also a Life Member of Tennis Auckland.
