Thanks to everyone who came down on Wednesday 5 December for our "Breaking Ground" Celebration.
There must have been literally 100s there and I know the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board members (who were there en masse!) were very impressed. Special thanks to Susan Quinn and Tracey Lee for all their help. For photos of our special night, go to our website
Judy Tinnock, Gaye Williams and Sydney Daniels wielded the spade on Wednesday.
Judy was NZ's #1 player and reached the 1954 Wimbledon mixed doubles semi-final. She coached at Milford for many years and played regularly until very recently.
Gaye joined Milford as a junior aged 11 and has been a member for some 66 years. She was Judy's doubles partner for many years. And before her tennis days, she attended ballet classes in the club pavilion! Sydney, aged 4, is one of our youngest members.

Building will start Monday Jan 14th. All the courts will remain in use but access to the Bottom Courts will be via the side gate. The construction area will be fenced off, but children must be supervised at all times and everyone must keep clear of the site. Our existing clubhouse will remain until the new clubhouse is ready for use, at which time the old clubhouse will be demolished and the land planted.
These are the start of a series of photos that will be updated during the project.
