New Sport Under Way
The Poverty Bay and East Coast Lawn Tennis Association's new building was opened recently in Childers Road. The new building contains three squash courts and administrative and shower and toilet blocks downstairs, and a lounge overlooking the squash courts along with a balcony upstairs overlooking the tennis courts.
An exhibition game was given by Hawkes Bay players Eric Ball and Derek Tombs (right).
The organising committee responsible for the project is, from left, at back: Messrs Phil Bowker, Bill Williams, Keith Thomas, Tony Chrisp, Jim Greig. In front: Joe Oates, Bill Roberts (secretary), Dick Richardson (president) and Neville Turnbull. Absent: Michael Chrisp.
