As part of its 100-year anniversary celebrations recently, the Pakuranga Tennis Club published a comprehensive history detailing the club’s activities.
On the April 13, 1921, a local farmer, one R.A. (Dufty) Bell called a public meeting to ‘form a tennis court in the District’, to quote the original hand-written minutes held by the club) and hence the title of the publication.
‘…..to form a tennis court….’ features………
* 70 bound pages
* Extensive black and white and full colour illustrations
* Eight chapters plus four appendices
Every section and aspect of the club’s activities is covered, from juniors to veterans, championships and tournaments, interclub achievements, social play and other activities.
The first edition has proved so popular it has now sold out! Due to a number of enquiries we have received however, we are keen to publish a second edition but need an indication of interest to proceed.
We would love readers to contact either myself paultibbutt@gmail.com or the club secretary paktennis@xtra.co.nz if they have an interest in purchasing a copy (cost to be advised).
