Upper Murray Community Recovery Weekly Recovery Update - 29 October 2020

Game, set, match for Cudgewa courts There’s been a whole lot of grant writing going on over the past months and the results are beginning to flow. Cudgewa Tennis Club, with the help of Cudgewa Local Area Recovery Officer (LARO) Tony Irwin, has secured a $185,000 joint State/Federal Government Local Economy Recovery Grant. Two of the four courts will be upgraded, including lighting, to allow night tennis to be played for the first time, as well as reinstating the Saturday morning competition. It’s hoped work will start before Christmas. Tennis coach Kate Fair is excited to restart coaching, but for Vice President, Tracey Fair, it is a chance to get people out together again and laughing.
