Dear Club Convenors / Club Secretaries,
We are contacting Waverley Tennis clubs that currently do not
participate in our competition, to ask if your ladies would like to
consider our Waverley District Midweek Ladies Competition as either an
alternative option to your current Thursday comp for a bit of variety,
or perhaps adding an extra day to their current tennis commitments.
We also have a Pool Emergency List. If you have any ladies that can?t
form a team, but are interested in playing on a Thursday as an
emergency, we would love to hear from them.
Our participating clubs cover a wide area eg. Kooyong / Donvale /
Croydon / Vermont Sth / Wheelers Hill/Endeavour Hills/Clarinda etc.

MEMRLTA finals began this week.
We had three teams playing MEMRLTA this season.
B3 (Captain Cathy Blazey) have won their semi final and go on next week to play in the final.
A10 which didn’t have a good season unfortunately finished near the bottom of the ladder and had to umpire the semi final at the South Hawthorn courts, A8 had a disasterous semi final and now have the dubious honour of umpiring at the finals next week. There is always next season when again the three teams will participate.

Barbara Castles has taken the role of Women’s convenor. Her role will be to keep track of who plays during the week and if there are any teams that can include new players in their groups. We thank Barbara for taking on this important role.
MEMRLTA
Congratulations to our MEMRLTA team who having won the Premiership last season in section A9, were promoted to section A8 and have won that section as well. We look forward to reporting on their progress in section A7, like fine wine they just keep getting better.
Team members are Deb McNamara, Gail Aylward, Lorraine Elsley, Barbara Castles, Maxine Cathro, Lorry Ryan, Jackie Nikolovski, Jo Burton, and Jeanette Shinkfield.
