Pending no further weather bombs we are set for our rain date for Club Champs Finals Day this coming Sunday.

Finals for Men's Open Singles, Men's B Singles, Men's B Doubles, Women's Singles, Women's Open Doubles, Women's B Doubles, and Mixed B Doubles will be contested so make sure you're at the club to catch the action and enjoy a BBQ and drinks at the bar. Things will kick off from 11am with main singles due for around 3pm and prizegiving for all completed grades (senior and junior) to follow.

Thanks to everyone who has played their games so far, and for those of you still in the draw please make sure you complete semi finals by Saturday please. Any questions re scheduling or court booking please contact either Jacqui on 376 0681 or Simon at tennisVP@hernebayrackets.co.nz.

Check the club website end of Saturday for Finals Day schedule and any last minute weather reschedule updates.

Reminder re non marking shoes on squash courts.

Please see photo of damage to Squash Court 1 from the use of marking shoes. This happened over the weekend and is going to cost the club several hundred dollars to clean. Can all members please be vigilant on this issue if anyone is seen using shoes that aren’t non-marking they should be asked to come off the courts.
