Love Tennis is Back
Save the Date: Sunday 7 September | 10am – 2pm

Yes – it’s Father’s Day, and the perfect opportunity to bring the whole family along.
Kids, bring your dads. Dads, bring your dads. It’s never too late to start playing tennis.

We’re planning another exciting community day, and we need your help to make it even better than last year.

We’re looking for support in the following areas:

-Friendly faces to welcome visitors

-Baking, BBQ, or general cooking skills

-Face painting talent

-Spot prizes and giveaways

-Sponsorship in any form (a great way to promote your business)

-Photography

-Access to discounted hire of jumping castles, popcorn machines, or other fun additions

Last year’s Love Tennis Day was a huge success — let’s make 2025 even better.
