Higgins Park Tennis Club in East Victoria Park to celebrate diamond anniversary
Higgins Park Tennis Club plans to celebrate a 60 -year -old racket.
The club at the Playfield Street in Eastern Victoria Park will make an open day to mark the diamond anniversary on Saturday, October 4 at 13:00.
The newly elected club president and life member Angela Luttrell said that as well as all past members and their families, as well as all members of the community were invited to play some social tennis or picklessball.
Memorabilia and a memory strip of photos are also planned and the event will continue to the club salon if it rains.
“The club has come a long way since it started with only four Hardcourt and Bamboo Cuts, Lut Luttrell said.
“Until a redevelopment five years ago, the club had 12 lawn courts, but now it has eight grass sites and eight harsh balances, which gives people the ability to play all year round.
“We are also one of the three clubs with swelling grass courts in the metro region.”
This year, the election as the president is closing an apartment because he is one of the founding members of the club and the opening president of the deceased father, Ron Hall.
He said that the club is always a social center and that many people meet with their partners in functions or courts.
“I am one of those who met their wives here and even holds their weddings, including many, including my own daughter,” he said.
Mayor Ian Love, who has been a member of life and the previous for a long time, said that the club is very generated members.
“There were people who started as young people with their grandchildren representing the club,” he said.
“My granddaughter is one of them while capturing the tennis beetle from me.
“It is nice to see that as well as players under the tutelage of William Being of the club’s contracted coach ABC Tennis, it is nice to see that all of them have grown and developed as people.”
Mr. Love, the club is also multicultural and completely inclusive, he said.
“How many cultural pasts have been represented in Clubm and we are also a LGBTQIA+ Friendly Club,” he said.
Luttrell said that the club has produced many champions and state team representatives, including the state Junior No.1 and the current WA Open Ladies’s single champion Alice Stevens.
“When Alice moved from Wheatbed Town Beverley, she started her young career here,” he said.
The club also had a brush with a copyright.
“Sir Cliff Richard, an absolute tennis fan, gave a ticket to some lucky members in the early 1980s and gave a ticket to some lucky members, Lut Luttrell said.
