Club Competitions
The club now
has a very full competitions calendar and the social aspect of the club is
developing well. We now run spring, summer and autumn competitions for
adults with an expanding program for the youth section as well. This year
there will be professional coaching camps at eater and summer for the youth. We
will also continue the very popular Parent and Child
competitions in September.
The RTC Mixed Doubles
Championship for the Kevin Tiernan
Trophy remains the annual highlight of the summer schedule.
The committee has developed the social aspect of the day with a bar b que and
tented village.
The CORE and
the Rathangan & District Credit Union have very generously sponsored the major
tournaments. Last year they were joined by Merrimack. These and
other local partners have helped us develop a full schedule of competitions for all
members. This year the season kicks off with a mixed doubles blitz to officially
launch the new lights.
The social
side of the club is blossoming , this years second annual Bar B Que in July was a huge success. This
year saw it refocused on a nights entertainment for members, families and friends.
The annual
quiz night is a hugely popular on the long winter nights is very well supported
by the whole community. While the Christmas
Party and annual Prize giving which was held in the Papillion restaurant in
Rathangan again this year was hugely enjoyable.
We wish to
thank our many sponsors for their support. We
assure them that we will continue to deliver the level of positive publicity they
have come to expect.
