2019 HTA AGM – 8th April Old Mill 7:15pm for 7:30pm

Dear Life Members, Clubs and friends of the HTA,
As per February MC minutes, confirming that the combined 2019 HTA AGM/SGM will be held on Monday, 8th April at the Hahndorf Old Mill, Main St Hahndorf, from 7:15pm for 7:30pm start.
** Two delegates from each Club please for quorum (and to prevent the need to possibly hold an additional meeting). Thanks **
HTA – “Hills Tennis, run by us, for each other, our children and our Community”
Positions on the Management Committee and Senior and Junior Committees are available for those seeking to make a contribution at HTA.
Nominations may be made at any time throughout the year, including at the AGM, for any HTA positions either in person or via the contact form on the HTA website.
Please consider taking your turn at HTA to keep our competitions, traditions and Hills Tennis culture strong.
See you Monday 8th April 7:15pm.
Thank you to our great sponsor, Craig Fromm (Manager at the Old Mill) for making the Old Mill available once again to the HTA for its meetings! Fantastic and much appreciated. Please consider supporting the Old Mill with a booking for your own Club or private functions.
Grand Finals – how the weather might affect you
The big day of the season is FINALLY HERE!!
While the weather should be kind to us tomorrow for our Grand Finals, there’s just a couple of things to note, to ensure the smooth running of our Grand Finals. If it does turn out to be wet:
- Please make every effort to complete the match on Grand Final Day. HTA strongly encourages all teams to persevere in order to finish Grand Finals matches, to avoid the inconvenience of having to complete the match on a different day.
- Rule 13.2 of our Rules of Match and Play contains information about abandoned finals matches. Every club should have a copy of the Rules at their venue if needed.
- No person can be forced to play on wet or slippery courts.
The Hills Tennis Association wishes all teams participating in tomorrow’s Grand Finals a wonderful day of tennis and the best of luck!

Senior Grand Finals!
Another HTA tennis season is coming to close. Hopefully all players have enjoyed the unique tennis experience that we enjoy in the Hills Tennis Association – sociable, friendly, yet fiercely competitive with the best afternoon teas on offer!! It may not be perfect, but HTA is one of the strongest Associations in the state and it’s something we should all be very proud of.
Below is a summary of the Grand Finals matches that are happening next weekend at Onkaparinga, Mount Barker and Littlehampton clubs.
Come out and watch the top teams in each division tussle for that elusive title of “Premiers”! HTA Life Members (Angus Thompson – Anembo and Adrian Pobke – Onkaparinga) will be there and it’s a great time thank these two, plus all of our other life members who have helped shape and make our Assoc what it is today. Thanks guys – we wouldn’t be here today without you!
All the best for a great weekend of tennis.
