Message from John Graetz - Clarendon Tennis Club President

Hi All,

You have all recently received an email from Paul Hage, indicating his desire to step down as the Junior Representative/Coordinator of the Clarendon Tennis Club.   I have spoken to Paul about his wishes and accept his decision.   A couple of years ago we needed somebody to step up and take control of the Juniors within the Club and Paul volunteered and has done a fine job to keep our Junior Teams running.  He has also been the Junior Association Secretary for two years when it was our turn to supply the Assoc Secretary, even though he was working interstate a lot of the time.   He has put in a lot of time and effort and his contribution to the Clarendon Tennis Club is noted by Committee and I personally thank him for what he has done.

I light of this, a new representative/coordinator (or possibly two) is needed to carry on from Paul.   I have received to date the names of two people who have indicated their desire and willingness to take this job on.    I feel that as the Junior numbers have increased this year, two people would be appropriate.    Each Junior Team would then be run by a Team Manager and they would be guided by the reps/coordinators.
These people are Marcus Hooper and Debbie Brooksby.  Debbie has previously filled this position and she has plenty of experience in this area.   Marcus is an active member of the Club in both Juniors and Seniors and I feel he is well suited to this position also.
If anyone else wishes to put their hand up for this position or wants any further information,  then please do not hesitate to give me a call ASAP.

I also take this opportunity to say a special thank you to Anita Butcher on behalf of the Clarendon Tennis Club for her efforts so far this season in recruiting new players and general organisation.  She will no doubt continue her efforts as her vision is to strengthen the playing group and increase membership of the Clarendon Tennis Club.
Thankyou to every-one for your commitment so far and look forward to seeing you all on the Courts.
