Tennis
|
As early as 1963, despite starting out relatively small, the club was affiliated to the
Eastern Transvaal Tennis Association (now Gauteng East Tennis Association) and teams were
entered into various leagues. During the same year a concerted effort was made by Ronnie Rossouw
and Jos Van Der Linde to improve the standard of tennis by importing good players, this greatly
increased the number of players and league entries. The numerous wins and certificates attested
to the success of this.
In the mid sixties an additional two courts were added to the existing four, necessitated by
the tremendous growth in players. Many great friendships were forged through the tennis section
and the social event of the year was the Annual Tennis Dance with its cabaret. This unfortunately
came to an end in the mid 1990's.
The clubhouse which was initially a wood and iron structure was eventually built by brick in line
with the image of the country club. Guy Mitchell joined the committee in the 1990's and set about
improving the surrounds by planting magnificent roses and building braai structures along with
little thatch shelters.
The section is still active today with now eights courts and various social events on the cards.
