What an incredible afternoon and evening celebrating our Tennis Palmerston community! 💙💛

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make this one of our biggest community events of the year.

🎾 56 adults took to the court for an afternoon of social doubles, while 40+ children and parents joined us later for our Family Fun Night, creating an amazing atmosphere both on and off the court.

💙 Supporting Our Junior Tour Fund

One of the highlights of the day was seeing our junior players roll up their sleeves and run a car wash fundraiser to help raise money for their January interstate tour. Every entry fee and every dollar of profit from the event went directly towards supporting our young athletes on their tennis journey.
