Kind regards

Congratulations to Tennis Seniors Auckland on being awarded the Bev & Murray Billington “Club of the Year” Trophy.

This award recognizes the valuable contribution and achievements the Club has shown in the seniors tennis community. Tennis Seniors Auckland have a PREVIOUS RECIPIENTS OF THE young committee which brings new ideas and have a good way of connecting BEVERLEY & MURRAY BILLINGTON with players. For their local club days, they have moved away from Nicholson CLUB OF THE YEAR AWARD Park Tennis Courts and back to local tennis clubs, finding it is involving a larger number of players. Over the winter months they have been organising their social play at the indoor courts at Merton Road Tennis Centre which is proving 2016 Western Bay of Plenty very popular as it is out of the wind and rain. 2017 Taranaki 2018 Northland Tennis Seniors Auckland have eight fixtures each year, played between 2019 Auckland February and August involving 12 men and 12 women each match. They ran a very successful Wimby Challenge using wooden racquets with the players dressing up accordingly.

The recognition is thoroughly deserved and we wish Tennis Seniors Auckland every success in the future.

2019 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Auckland 26-30 January

Congratulations to Tennis Seniors Auckland organising committee, led by Grant Waller, whose organisation contributed to the smooth running of a very successful event. There was only the smallest drizzle of rain on Sunday morning – not enough to delay matches for very long. Overall the weekend was near perfect.

240 players participated from around New Zealand including our regulars from Japan along with other players from China, Brazil, US, UK & Australia. The main venue throughout the five days was the Remuera Rackets Club. Mission Bay, Kohimarama, St Heliers and Parnell Tennis Clubs were also used for the first three days.

A Meet & Greet was held on the Friday evening at the Parnell Lawn Tennis Club where players and supporters met up with old friends and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Tennis Seniors Auckland did a great job of catering, ably led by their secretary Julie Blow and her committee.

Sincere thanks to the clubs for the use of their courts and facilities. Special thanks to the venue controllers, caterers and volunteer helpers – a great team effort.

Our congratulations to the “Triple Title Winners”, Helen Litt, Larry Seales and Julia Sim

2019 NATIONAL TEAMS EVENT

Christchurch 67 teams and 357 players enjoyed three days of competitive tennis and great camaraderie that only seniors tennis can 19 - 21 April bring to the National Teams Event.

A special thanks to the local clubs for the use of their courts and facilities and a special thanks to the venue controllers for their contribution. They did a wonderful job keeping the matches flowing, especially on the Sunday morning when rain disrupted play for a short while, contributing greatly to the smooth running of the event. The Elmwood Tennis Club was used as the headquarters with Shirley, Cashmere, Spreydon & Waimairi Tennis Club’s also being involved over all three days.

The Meet & Greet was held at Christchurch Park and the Prize Giving Dinner/Dance at the Addington Event Centre. Both social events were outstanding and well supported by the players who enjoyed celebrating their successes over the weekend. The Theme for the dinner was “Seeing Red” which was an outstanding success – when you arrived at the function; all you saw was a SEA OF RED.

Well done to Canterbury Tennis Seniors hard working committee for a well presented event.

Congratulations to Western Bay of Plenty on winning the John Mickell Trophy.
