A lot has been happening on the tennis side with the final event in the Winter
Series held on Sunday August 28, the Men’s and Ladies Doubles tournament. We
had a high standard of competitive tennis on the day with the winners being –
Div 1 Mens Brett Patten and Peter Schoolkate, Div 2 Allan Blakeney and
Peter Hille. In the Ladies, Div 1 was won by Geraldine Watson and Jan Truscott
and Div 2 by Moira Baker and Sharon Crudeli. Thanks to Roger Grant for a very
well organised day.
Nominations for the Australian Team Championships in Adelaide in January
close on 29 September so if you would like to play contact Debra Kirk on 9228
2918 or tswa@optusnet.com.au.
Coming up on Oct 13-16 we have the ITF WA State Senior Championships. It is
shaping up to be a fantastic tournament with many high quality entries
Already, including many from other states and some from overseas. Events in-
clude ITF Singles and doubles and well as non ITF doubles and mixed doubles.
Enter via the IPIN website for ITF events or by email to TSWA for non ITF dou-
bles events. All matches will be played on grass which our new
curator, Robbie Firns says should be playing well after considerable work over
the winter. A good chance to get some competitive matches before the opening of
summer pennants.
The association has engaged an interior designer to provide options for some
well needed upgrades to the clubhouse and grounds. You should see some
improvements in the near future.
Hoping to see you on court soon.

Adelaide.
Teams Week: 8—13 January

TEAMS CARNIVAL
The Teams Carnival is a doubles competition for both women and men and is a wonderful opportunity
to compete against teams and players from all over Australia and overseas. Enter a team with your
friends through your State, or nominate in your State and be selected in a team. All international
teams’ enquiries should be directed to secretary@tsac2017.org.au
Teams should ideally consist of 5 or 6 players, and will play other teams in their division in a round
robin competition.
Teams are grouped according to player age, in 5 or 10 year brackets from age 35 years, and are placed
in divisions within an age bracket according to team strength.
Teams may play two matches per day (morning and afternoon) with a time limit of 2.5 hours per
match. Matches consist of 4 doubles and are played using the best of 2 set format.
Team members must play in their State or National tops or shirts.
Social functions are organised during the week, and there is an official opening on Sunday afternoon
after the practice sessions on 8th January 2017.
