January 2012

The January newsletter, has been mailed, and you can download it here.

The new courts are almost finished and will be playable by the end of the month. The fencing and concreting are all done. It is anticipated that the lighting works will be ffinished in the first week of February, allowing night tennis to resume from Monday 6th, but this will need to be confirmed nearer the time.

Happy new year to all.

Progress has been good on the courts project since resumimg from the Christmas break. Fencing of courts 2 & 3 will be complete by 18th, and the adjacent external concreting is also finished. The new surface on courts 4 - 6 is being laid and completion is anticipated by Australia day, weather permitting. The remaining fencing and concreting should also be finished by then. The schedules for removal of the old light poles, and completion of the electrics, are yet to be confirmed but hopefully they will be all done by the end of the month.

December 2011

At the Christmas break, the project status is as follows:

Floodlighting:
All luminaires installed atop the light poles;
All external trenchings in the vicinity of the existing switchboard arrangement have been backfilled to surface levels.
 
Upon resumption of the floodlighting works in early January, the Contractor will be looking at first removing the old light poles (which should have no impact on the works within the courts enclosure), and will then move straight onto the new switchboard arrangement and final connections with a view of having its job completed by around Friday, 20 January.
 
Court Civil & Resurfacing (commenced on Wednesday, 21 December):
South west corner of courts enclosure has been excavated (old asphalt removed) and re-asphalted, approx. area 4m x 17-18m - several very soft areas noted and dealt with by contractor;
Western side; excavated and new box drain partially installed (concreted into place) - to netline + extra 4-5ms;
Southern end; excavated in readiness for new box drain (old spoon drain removed) - the existing agi pipe is very close to the surface, approx. 200mm depth, and will need to be relaid;
Eastern side; old spoon drain removed and new box drain installed along the full length of the eastern side;
Northern end; old spoon drain removed and approx. 7ms new box drain positioned in place (eastern end) prior to concreting - the existing agi pipe is readily visible and only shallow laid;
Two asphalt strips laid at the netlines between Courts 4 & 5 and Courts 5 & 6 - restoration of areas excavated by electricians to facilitate boring operations; and
All old net posts removed, including the old concrete footings - large excavations protected by safety bunting.
 
It is anticipated that the civil works will take a further 2-3 days to complete, with the contractor due back on site early January.

All night tennis is now over for the year. Congratulations to the Tuesday and Wednesday winners:

Tuesday Men : Boom Boom (Adrian, Ryan, Jarryd, Daniel & David) outgunned the A Rods

Wednesday Mixed: Sedgeman (Kevin, Steven, Bev & Marie) were too good for Emerson

In the second week of the project, new light poles are up, as are the new fence posts, and the new retaining wall is done. Fences are now complete on courts 6 & 7, with new top and bottom rails. They look great!

Courts 8 & 9 will be unavailable for most of the week of December 5th, while the fences are upgraded.

Courts 4 - 6 after one day of the project....

November 2011

Congratulations to our Coach Peter Jenkins, who is currently listed at no. 3 in Australia in the Veterans Tennis rankings, and no.31 in the World (in his age group, of course). What's next Pete - the Aussie Open??

Night tennis is nearly finiahed for the year. Well done to our Grand Final winners:

Monday Ladies: Burberry (Bec, Alesha, Mandy and Cassie) had a comfortable win over Chanel

Thursday Mixed: Princes (Andrew, Haris, Michael, Cassie and Brittany) defeated Lotto's

Just a reminder that courts 4, 5 & 6 will be unavailable from December 1st, until around end January - see details below.

So we washed out Wednesday night tennis........

Court floods 9 November

October 2011

The project to upgrade courts 4, 5 & 6 will begin on Thursday November 24th, when the retaining wall along court 6 will be demolished and rebuilt closer to the fence line. Court 6 will be unavailable during the day, but should be OK for night tennis and after hours use. Some electrical work for the new lights (which will not affect play) might start a little earlier.

Full work on the project will start on Thursday December 1st, from when the three courts will not be available for play. The fences will be removed and all the asphalt repairs, drainage and concreting will hopefully be done before the Christmas break, along with replacement fenceposts and lighting work. Resurfacing of the courts will begin on January 9th, with the aim of having everything finished before competition resumes after the holidays. Some equipment will be stored in a container in the car park, and some in the clubhouse.

The galvanised fences on courts 7 & 8 will probably be replaced in December, and those on courts 2 & 3 in January.

All of this will be very dependent on favourable weather of course, and the schedule is very tight for the contractors. Information will be updated here on the website as it comes to hand, and we apologise for any inconvenience.

We won two flags in the winter PTA Saturday competitions. Congratulations to Sean Dickson, Scott Ross and Tom Eddy for winning Mens Singles Sec 2. Tom finished the season unbeaten in his singles natches. Congratulations too to Dylan Brookes, Lance Cowan and Jamie Brookes for their win in Mens Singles Sec 4 - their second flag in a row. Well done also to Mixed Doubles Sec 3 and Mens Singles 4 for finishing runners-up.

The juniors had a lean season, and no teams made it through to the Grand Final.

August 2011

At the AGM on August 3rd, our outgoing Treasurer Robyn Mantel was thanked by the Committee for her outstanding contribution over the past 27 years. Janet Fraser has taken over as Treasurer, and we also welcome Paul Baker to the Committee.

A motion to raise the membership fees was passed. The increase is the first for two years, and was made necessary by increases in the Tennis Vic registration fees. The new fee structure can be seen in the Membership section of this website.

We're pleased to see that our courts upgrade project has been supported in this year's Council budget, and our intention is to execute the project over the summer break, starting in early December.

July 2011

Our Mid-Week Ladies Sec 5 team had a great win in their Grand Final. Congratulations to Marie, Sally Ann, Nicole, Heather, Helen and Jenny. Well done to the Sec 2 team who finished runner-up.

Well done also to night tennis winners:

Monday Ladies: Alley Cats (Dianne, Ruth, Sharon, Chris & Sophia) were too clever for Volley Girls

Tuesday Men: Fed Express (Haris, Lisle, Michael, Steve & Brad) beat Raffas

Wednesday Mixed: Crabs (Terry, Haris, Michelle & Cathie) were too snappy for Yabbies

Thursday Mixed: Princes (Marie, Melanie, Kevin and Brendan), beat Babolats

May 2011

The night tennis season is drawing to a close, with Wednesdays now in recess until August. Congratulations to premiers the Crabs (Terry, Haris, Michelle & Cathie), who beat Yabbies by just one game.

April 2011

THe April newsletter has been mailed, and you can read it here.

For the first time ( as far as anyone can remember), Langy juniors won both the girls (Loretta Thrupp) and boys (Les Moss) shields. A fantastic result, and congratulations to Caley Knox, Hayley Gould, Mikaela Kemp, James Dann, Jayden Cox and Josh Dewhirst.

James had a big Grand Final day, also combining with Dylan Hebblethwaite to win the seniors Section 2 singles. Also victorious were the Section 6 Singles (Dylan Brookes and Lance Cowan), and Section 2 Mixed Doubles (Tracey Euhus, Bev Eddy, Brett Kidman and Tom Eddy). Congratulations.

March 2011

Saturday finals are underway, and we had a total of 20 Langy teams competing - 6 Seniors, 6 Girls and 8 Boys. Of these, four teams finished the regular season on top of the ladder. Four of the Senior teams have made it through to the Grand Final on Saturday April 2nd, as have three Girls and two Boys teams. Our Junior teams are playing at Frankston or Frankston East, and the Senior teams at Overport and Langwarrin (where our two Mens Singles 2 teams are fighting it out). Good luck to all!

February 2011

On Feb 7th we presented our case to Frankston Council, for financing of our courts 4-6 upgrade project to be included in the 2011-12 budget. We received a favourable hearing, but there's still a long way to go before we'll know if we have been successful.

Don't forget to submit your entries for the Winter season as soon as you can.

January 2011

December 2010

Tennis Victoria recently advised that we are now in the top twenty Community Tennis Clubs in Victoria, by membership. So we are the biggest club in the PTA and also in the City of Frankston. Great news!

August 2010

Congratulations and good luck to our Saturday teams who made the finals. We have five Senior teams, five Girls and three Boys, including the top two sections in both Girls and Boys.

There has been a terrific response to the Club Championships, with matches starting on Sunday. Good luck to all, and please be sure to be on time for your matches.

The Hot August Night was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and it was terrific to have John Wells performing. It was his last gig for a while, and we wish John all the best with his treatment

July 2010

At the AGM, the meeting endorsed the committee recommendation that there be no change to fees for next year (commencing October 1st). Adrian Moore was appointed Saturday Seniors Coordinator, taking over from Dave Greer. Many thanks Adrian, and well done Dave for a terrific contribution.

This year our Hot August Night is on Saturday August 21st at the Langy Hall, from 7:30 pm. Round up your friends and put a table together - it's sure to be a great night. Only $25 ph, byo drinks and nibbles. See Robyn, Lynda or Lorene for tickets.

You can see our latest newsletter here.

June 2010

Congratulations to our Section 2 MWL team - Lorene, Tracey, Bev, Dianne & Maria - who were runners-up. They werre our only MWL ream to make finals.

There are a couple of "new" faces as night tennis coordinators - thanks to Marie, Libby and Ian for taking on the job. Monday Ladies will start on July 12th.

May 2010

At the Special General Meeting on 21st May, the members voted in favour of progressing the project to resurface courts 4 - 6, replace the lights and fences, and upgrade the drainage. It is the Committee's intention to seek financial assistance from Frankston Council rather than borrow the shortfall; however, the earliest that this would become available is in the 2011/2012 financial year, so the project is "on hold" until then.

With the night tennis season almost finished, it's time to think about playing in the Spring season which will start in early August for most nights. Click on Competitions above for the contact numbers of the organisers.

Don't forget the working bee on Sunday 30th - an hour or two of your time makes a big difference.

April 2010

Please note the change to the starting date for the Winter Saturday season (for both Seniors and Juniors). The PTA have introduced the changes so that Grand Finals for all sections can be played on the same day.

Also please note that a Special General Meeting has been scheduled for Friday 21st May, where the Committee will be seeking member approval to progress the upgrade project for courts 4, 5 & 6.

The April newsletter has been published, and there is a link at the bottom of the page to view it on line.

March 2010
