Local estate agent backs tennis club

Stone Real Estate and Copacabana Tennis Club have entered into a funding partnership which will help the club thrive.

Tennis club president Dr Risto Cvetkovic of Copacabana Medical Centre said the sponsorship would provide funding for tennis balls for social tennis open days held every Saturday from 10am-noon and Division 1 competitive tennis on Mondays from 6pm-8pm and Wednesdays from 3pm-5.30pm.

It will also fund four major social and competitive tennis events annually  – Christmas, Easter and Christmas-in July tennis parties plus club championships (the Stone Challenge Cup).

Free annual membership in Copacabana Tennis Club will also be available for new homeowners of properties sold by Stone Real Estate at Copacabana, MacMasters and Avoca Beach.

Stone Real Estate Principal Andrew Thomson said it had been very encouraging to see the growth of the Copacabana Tennis Club.

“It is a very positive and welcoming group online, and best of all, in real life,” he said.

“When I heard about the club’s need for support, I was immediately interested and as conversations developed with the president of the club, we were able to formulate a way to contribute that would be of greatest benefit.

“This includes supplies such as tennis balls and funding for social gatherings and there is a plan for a tournament later in the year.

“Of course the exciting next step, or number of steps, is to join the members on the court.

“My team and I are excited for this opportunity to give back to the community and this great club.”
