Another new committee year for the club starts in May, and we are looking forward
to it.
We probably won't match the growth in membership of the last 12 months, but
inquiries are steady, and we are still gaining new members.
We all have to learn to be very
water wise and be careful of every drop. Most people are collecting water into
their own tanks and this will certainly help but we must all be conscious of how
much water we use from the community tanks as well. A new tank has been
installed to provide dam water for flushing toilets which will ease the water
usage from the main tanks. Lets hope we get sufficient rain to keep the dam
full.
The growth has heralded a fantastic building boom. If you have not been to
the club lately (why not?) you will certainly notice a heap of new buildings, sites
and facilities.
We have new toilet facilities and plans are underway to construct another toilet and shower block
near the tennis courts.
Our tennis courts have been widened and re-levelled and we don't have to chase
tennis balls up and down the valley as a net fence has been erected by a
dedicated group of members who I suspect didn't like chasing the tennis balls
either. The courts had a good work-out with the Labour Day and Easter
tournaments.
The pool deck and pool fence have been completed, and the pool was well used
over summer.
New roads are in, new sites levelled, and the place is starting to get a
green tinge with our recent rain. The rain has started the trees on their way as well, and just about all of the
direct seeding is starting to produce some growth.
We are growing in more ways than one so why not come and join us in a great
place with great members and terrific socials. We are not called "The
friendly alternative" for nothing.
