WELCOME
We welcome you as a member of our Squash & Tennis Club and hope you enjoy your participation in the Clubs activities.
This information guide provides you, as a new member, with a brief outline of the Club and what is available to you.
ABOUT
First established in 1894, the club has a long and proud history, originally based at the current bowling club before moving to the present location. The first tennis pavilion was beside court 6 on the roadside, and there were beautiful elm trees for children to play under before the demand for more tennis courts overtook the need for shade. There is incredible old silverware in the trophy cupboards, so have a look at these when you are relaxing in the lounge.
The Waipukurau Tennis & Squash Club is totally run by volunteers, who are committed to helping the Club operate smoothly and efficiently.
We have a Management Committee with delegates from both codes that govern on behalf of the club members to ensure the club runs smoothly with two sub-committees for tennis & squash to oversee the day-to-day sport-specific activities.
The MANAGEMENT committee meets once a month, generally on the 3rd Monday of the month.
The SQUASH committee has monthly meetings, usually on the 2nd Sunday of every month - to which any member is welcome to attend. Many hands make light work and we welcome any offers of support!
