Peake Gardens Riverside Junior Tournament Oct 4th SEC=PUBLIC

Dear Slugs

JDS Junior Tournament Friday Oct 4th

Marcus is running a Junior Development Series Tournament on Friday October 4th during school holidays. There are events for age groups from under 9s to under 15s. These events are the smallest of the tournaments that are run, and are run in a much more relaxed environment to give kids their first taste of tournament tennis. They are all done in a day and would be a great lead in to the season for all junior players. I encourage all juniors intending to play this summer to enter. Please email Marcus at peakperformanceSA , or ring him on 0407 833 850 for more details or to enter.

Some Juniors already have a MyTennis ID which you will need to enter the tournament. I have attached a list of Juniors and your MyTennis IDs if applicable. If you don’t have a MyTennis ID please ring 1800 752983 (1800 My Tennis) and Tennis Australia will be able to hook you up.

Congratulations Winter Premiers!

I have been sent a couple more premiership photos, so here they are. Congratulations again to the all-conquering Div 1 Men’s Doubles, Friday Night Premier Boys, Div 1 WDTA Boys, and Hotshots Boys.

*** I still don’t have a copy of the Hotshots Boys team, so if Trevor or Louise or anyone else can send me one it would be greatly appreciated.

Div 1 Boys: Winton, Toby, Peter & Lachlan

Premier Div Boys: Ben, Ryan, Alex, Pierce, Seth

Summer Season starts October 22nd for Juniors, Oct 15th for Seniors

Apologies. In the last newsletter I wrote that tennis starts Oct 15th. Actually only Seniors start Oct 15th, Juniors start the following week on October 22nd. So there is no need to cut your holiday to Noosa short.

The Quiz

Congratulations to the winners of last week’s Quiz: Matt Rymill, Dave Rule, Ben Wellington and Nectar Koutsouliotis, who correctly named Harry Hopman as the pictured tennis hero. Harry was a 3-time Australian Open finalist and a 7 time grand slam doubles and mixed doubles champion, but he is best known for captain-coaching Australia to an incredible 16 Davis Cups over a 22 year span. He is the father of modern Australian tennis and the architect of our dominance of the sport in the 50’s and 60’s. Hats off to Harry.

This week’s question is a bit tougher: Name South Australia’s No. 1 ranked tennis player immediately before John Fitzgerald.

Hint: This is not a him.

Email me back with the answer, a correct answer will be chosen at random for a special prize. J

Cheers

Peake Gardens Riverside Congratulations Winter Premiers! SEC=PUBLIC

Dear Slugs

Congratulations Winter Premiers!

Well once again some super slugs have brought home the flag from Junior and Senior Winter Pennant Grand Finals. Congratulations to the all-conquering Div 1 Men’s Doubles, Friday Night Premier Boys, Div 1 WDTA Boys, and Hotshots Boys.

*** Can anyone who has a good photo of any of the Premiership teams please email them back to me, as these team photos will be going up onto our Wall of Fame.

Div 1 Mens Doubles Premiers. Grantley, Michael, Dr. Andy, Cory.

Good luck also to Div 1 SDTA Boys who play their Grand Final this Saturday, after scraping home in the semi by the smallest margin I have ever seen. Well done especially to Pierce Hynes and Ben Wellington who won the final tiebreak of the day 7-0 to put them into the Grand Final by 2 points after the match was drawn 3-3 and 29 games all.

Summer Season starts October 15th

By now hopefully everyone knows about Summer Season which starts Oct 15th. If you want to play this summer, please get onto Marcus and Matt asap as time is about to run out for team nominations.

We are having pretty much the same competitions as last year, with GDTA juniors and seniors, plus Tuesday Night Tennis and Social memberships available, plus we will have an internal hotshots competition for juniors from 5 years old, who are too young to play interclub tennis.

As per last year, we are offering a $10 discount off your membership fees if you bring out a new person to the club who becomes a member, so if you know anyone who might be interested in playing this year please let them know about the open day, or please forward this email on to them.

Winter SUBS

I’m sure everyone has paid their winter subs by now, but for those who are tardy: Seniors subs are $100, Junior $70. You can pay your subs at the canteen or by internet banking. If you pay by internet banking, please make sure you still bring in your membership form to the canteen.

See Members Page on our website for the full rundown and to download the Membership Form which has our bank details and payment instructions on it.

The Quiz

This is here to see if anyone actually reads this rubbish to the bottom.

Name this bloke.

Email me back with the answer, a correct answer will be chosen at random for a special prize. J

Hints:

1. He’s a bloke.

2. He never won a Grand Slam singles title but his contribution to Australian top-level tennis is probably greater than anyone in history. Yes, even more than the Woodies!

Cheers

If you pay by internet banking, please make sure you still bring in your membership form to the canteen.

See Members Page on our website for the full rundown and to download the Membership Form which has our bank details and payment instructions on it.

Court night hire $10 for members

With the days now at their shortest it is difficult to get to the courts in daylight hours. Please note that Thursday Night is practice night and you can come on down and get a court at no charge on Thursdays on a first come, first served basis. On Monday, Wednesday & Friday nights, Marcus is usually coaching at the club and you can arrange for him to light up a court for you at our members rate of $10 per hour.

Annual General Meeting Saturday July 30th

The AGM was run for another year, and the big winner was….Jeff Ramm!, who was re-elected unopposed as Our Fearless President. Jeff was also awarded Life Membership of the club and now has a court named after him as well, in recognition of his years of service to the club and to tennis. Jeff was very moved and a quiver in his moustache was detected.

Most other positions on the committee remained the same, with Tony Meadows continuing as Secretary, Serge Naumenko as Treasurer and Grantley Haskell as Maintenance Manager. Several new committee members have been elected, we welcome Diana Karakitsios, Julie Ramm and Marie Georgeson to the committee, and Don Kountouris as our new Vice-President. I will be hassling you all soon for a photo to put up on the website.

Cheers

Peake Gardens Riverside Latest News

Dear Slugs

It’s looking like a hot weekend with temperatures currently predicted to be 39 and Saturday and 38 on Sunday. We are bound by Tennis SA and GDTA safety rules which provide for the cancellation of matches if the forecast temperature from the Bureau of Meteorology (www.bom.gov.au) on the morning of matches is 37 degrees or above. This applies to Saturday matches and the club tournament.

Note: If Saturday’s Tennis is cancelled, the barbeque that was to follow tennis on Saturday evening will also be cancelled.

If the club tournament is postponed, I will post a message on the front page of the club’s website on Sunday morning (www.pgrtc.net.au), and I’ll send an email on Monday with advice on its rescheduling after I speak to Tournament Director Grantley.

Cheers
