Our
club was formed in 1936, after the Great Depression and prior to World
War II. Tough times they were for our district and our country, yet
even back then our club provided a great outlet for a community, living
off the back of H.V. McKay’s marvellous invention the ‘Sunshine
Harvester’
Before moving to our present site in
Phoenix St in 1978, our Club was founded in Garnet St North Sunshine on
private land owned by Pop Pemberton where he built two stone dust
courts. We joined other clubs playing competitions organised by
the Sunshine & District Tennis Association.
In
recent years we have invested significant effort and capital into
having four brand new Mod grass courts on a soft crush rock porous
base. In 2006 our courts were floodlit with the latest state of the art
lights.
We have won many premierships. More
importantly we have a rich and wonderful history of proudly creating
recreational opportunities for our community in a warm and friendly
environment, where many life time friendships have been formed.
We warmly welcome you.
