President Ross Graffin said the club’s aim was to continue to provide the best playing surfaces for its members.

‘It is vital that our juniors have the opportunity to develop their skills on playing surfaces that are equal to any in the State,’ he said. ‘In addition to the courts, which include the only grass courts along the west coast corridor north of Karrinyup Road, our off-court clubhouse and facilities are first rate.
