Tennis — Annual Meeting

Tennis

Annual Meeting.

F. D. Christensen is the new secretary of the Tennis Club which will open its season with a Yankee Tournament next Saturday.

E. G. Budge presided over an attendance of 23 members who elected a commitee consisting of Misses K. Pears, R. Singleton, F. E. MacLean and P. Higgin and Messrs. B. Brock, P. G. Pasley N. A. Morrison and K. J. Mc-Naught with F. H Renouf treasure. That E.G Budge is again chairman is adequate guarantee of efficient supervision of the Club's affairs for the coming season.

The inauguration of matches with Massey College a coaching scheme early in the season the completion of all the Club Championships before the end of the first term and the triumph of the Tournament team were features of the 1937/38 season that were specially mentioned in the annual report. Three members of the club R. L. Ferkins, F. H. Renouf and B. M O'connor, had participated in the National Championships at Auckland Ferkins again winning the Men's Doubles title in partnership with E. A Roussell a former student of V.U.C.

The use of the Club's life membership ticket of the Miramar Tennis Club was granted to L. B. Sandford who did not seek re-election as secretary.

While all the members of last year's successful Tournament team are again available the Club has lost the services of two valuable members in Miss Stella Phillips and Jack Smythe. A Commitee member and Tournament representative for several years the former is now teaching at Palmerston North; Jack Smythe, treasurer for tow years was recently transferred to Christchurch.

Intending players in the Yankee Tournament on Saturday afternoon are urged to arrive early. Opening day of the Tennis Club is always one of the most enjoyable days of the sporting year at V.U.C. These is a small entry fee for the Tournament but balls afternoon tea, three or four sets of combined doubles and a very friendly atmosphere are all provided. New or indifferent played need have no qualms for handicaps are so arranged that they can have both enjoyable tennis and a chance of winning the Tournament.
