Marrickville District Lawn Tennis Club

Next open day coming up. Racquets at the ready!

Marrickville Lawn is going solar thanks to a NSW Government grant under the Building Community Partnerships program. Jo Haylen MP, Member for Summer Hill, visited the club this week to celebrate the win. The club has received $18,650 going toward solar panels and batteries. Here we are with Jo in front of our huge, bare roof - soon to be filled with panels harvesting the power of the sun to reduce the size of our power bills.

After a rain delay the 2024 Marrickville District Lawn Intra-Club competition was decided today under sunny skies. Lightning were the victors over Thunder - it’s all in the name really. Pictured left to right are winners Alex Poulikakos, Rhys Davies (Captain and competition convener), President Peter Sutherland and George Piatta. Absent is team member Mark Pike.

Our friends and neighbours are invited to an afternoon of free grass play on Sunday 9 March with live music by The Daddies. Bring the family. Social play just for the fun of it. Food available for sale, and our licensed bar will be up and running. Supported by Young Henrys. Visit our events to indicate interest. Cheers.
