Empire Bay Tennis Club celebrated its first birthday on November 18 with an inaugural Members End of Year Party.
Club President Alan Lovell said the day was cause for celebration.
“I am amazed at how quickly the new club reached 100 members,” he said.
Club Coach Mark Rawlingson said the three courts at Empire Bay were “among the best courts on the Central Coast”.
“As a sport that can be enjoyed from the age of five to adults of all ages, tennis has so many health benefits and is easy to play,” he said.
The club has been nominated for Club of the Year in Tennis NSW’s annual awards, with the winner to be announced in December.
Rawlingson said the club had been nominated for: encouraging healthy participation of tennis in the local community; growing membership from zero to 113 members; and promoting socials and comps through the area.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, dropped by to share the celebration.
“You should be so proud of your club and what you have achieved,” he told members.
“To be nominated for Tennis NSW Club of the Year in your first year is a great achievement.”
