Empire Bay Tennis Club celebrated its centenary on Saturday, April 13, with members dressing in 1920s clothing to mark the event.
“Who would have thought when they built the first court on the site where the Rural Fire Service now sits that 100 years later people would still be enjoying the great social game of tennis at Empire Bay?” club vice president Rod Lang said.
“The game, racquets, balls and clothing have changed but the wonderful social nature of the game hasn’t, so today we took a step back in time to commemorate the occasion.
“Dressed in tennis attire from days gone by we enjoyed some light-hearted tennis with old-style racquets.
“It was a great turnout considering the weather – there were about 40 people, many in costume.
“A big thanks to club supporter Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch and our great sponsors Empire Bay Tavern, Empire Bay Cellars, Umina Podiatry and Dr Sparks electrical.”
