“We want to encourage everyone to come and play on our fabulous courts,” Riddells Creek Tennis Club president Fiona Walker said after a further significant upgrade was finalised over the holiday period.
The completion was just in time for the Australian Open in Melbourne, with the profile of tennis at a very high level.
For any non-members who book a Riddells Creek court in February, the club will donate 50 per cent of the court hire to an organisation called Rally4Ever.
The charitable body helps connect people suffering from mental health issues in our community to others by playing tennis.
Later this year, Riddells Creek Tennis Club hopes to partner with Rally4Ever.
Anyone interested can find out more about the organisation by going to the Rally4Ever.org website.
Community Bank Gisborne and District contributed towards the completed upgrade.
During January, Fiona Walker was pleased to welcome Bendigo Bank (community bank) representatives to see what she described as “our wonderful new courts”.
“Thanks again for all the support you provide our clubs with through your amazing community investment grants.”
Community Bank Gisborne and District is also backing the new scoreboard project at Tony Clarke Reserve, Macedon.
The bank’s involvement has been welcomed by the Macedon football-netball and cricket clubs.
New electronic scoreboards at the Romsey number one oval and the main oval in Lancefield Park received major financial allocations from the Lancefield and Romsey Community Banks late last year.
