Allora tennis
SUNDAY afternoon social tennis will commence on 22 March at the Allora Tennis courts. “There is no commitment to play each week. All playing abilities and families are most welcome, and it will very much be social tennis, no playing for sheep stations” organiser Andrew Dunn said. Start time is 2.30pm, with a ball fee of $3 per player. Players are asked to bring their own refreshments. For more information, call Andrew or Catherine on 4666 2260. Allora Tennis Club features four synthetic grass courts and is located on the corner of Darling and William streets, behind the Freedom fuel station.
