2026 Club Championships
Congratulations to the over 30 members who participated in our 2026 Club Championships. The real winner for the weekend was tennis!
Our new 30-minute round-robin format was a huge success, bringing fantastic energy to the courts.

Please join me in congratulating our 2026 Club Champions:
Ladies Singles: Oksana Hernandez
Ladies Doubles: Julianne Gepp/ Carolyn Jacquard and Susan Tay/ Emma Hammond
Mens Singles: Sergi Frcej
Mens Doubles: Ben Kamien /Jeremy Whybrow and Greg MacPherson/ Rod Somes
Mixed Doubles: Susan Tay/ Rod Somes and Oksana Hernandez/ Karl Thorstensen
A special mention goes to Bruno Camarri, Kurt Robinson, Adrian Manescu, Kyra Keosoff and Sergi Frcej for stepping up to keep the draws running smoothly.

Simplified Sign-ups: We will make registration much easier via email or write-in forms. You will be
