Our boy has been in Guam competing at an ITF tournament and he smashed his way through qualies. He won his first round match 7/5 6/1 after being 4/1 down in the first. This showed his grit and determination on how much he wanted it. He is now again ranked an international tennis player. He also made 2nd round in the doubles with his Japanese friend going down to the number 1 seeds 6/2 6/2. We are so proud of you bud. You need to look after your body especially after your accident. Lachy is off to China now for 4 weeks. Good luck bud. We love you loads.

Good afternoon Everyone

I hope you all are enjoying tennis in 2026.

I'm trying to organise an awesome team style trip to Townsville to compete in the 2026 O8k J125 CBC Green Townsville Open Age - Western Suburbs (Northern Skies Series) in August and would like EOI from you guys!!!

The trip will be organised similar to the old teams carnival concept with players travelling together by bus to Townsville sharing cabins (6 per cabin) with brekky and dinner supplied daily. Please see flyer attached with approximate costings.

Players and parents are welcome to travel & stay with the team with price being the same for both.

Craig Hindmarsh has agreed to generously drive the bus for trip.

Tanya has also agreed to try and source sponsors which will assist in reducing costs for the trip.

If you'd like to join the team for an awesome tennis experience please respond asap for accom/bus and also please add in your shirt size. Also if you have any dietary requirements please let me know as well

Look forward to hearing from all soon

cheers

I feel we need to clear the air as there seems to be a lot of miscommunication around our centre during construction works.

Please see an email below from the council. Our centre will be in operation whilst works are happening events can go ahead as planned and we would appreciate it if people came to us first before going to the council and making assumptions

If any tennis or pickleball events want to go ahead while construction is happening you are welcome to.

Glenn,



I just wanted to come back to you to clear the air, as I understand there may have been some concern that I’d advised the Regional Assembly that no courts would be available during construction.

To be clear, that is not the case, and I have since gone back to the Assembly to explicitly clarify the position.



I’ve confirmed with them that:



The Centre remains open and accessible throughout the construction period, and
Courts that are not subject to the capital works remain available for general use and tournament programming through your operation, as normal.


I’ve also explained that only the courts captured within the two capital works scopes will be offline, and that the exact duration of those impacts is still to be confirmed, pending the tender process and contractor appointment. That timing is not yet confirmed for anyone, yourself included and will be shared as soon as it is locked in.



I wanted you to know that any earlier miscommunication that prompted your concerns here should now been addressed directly, and that the Assembly understands the distinction between:



courts impacted by capital works, and
the remaining courts that continue to operate.


If anything, further comes back your way that doesn’t reflect this, please let me know.



Thanks mate, appreciate you raising it.



Cheers

JB

Hi Everyone

Well that's a wrap for the 2026 Rockhampton open Age.

A huge thank to all that participated and supported our regional event this year and to all those that have supported us in all the previous years.

Special thanks to Greg & the gang from Kelvin Grove & Benji and his crew from Sunny Coast for making the trek up and making the tournament. Without your support numbers would really have been low,

A massive thank you to all my volunteers (Lefty, Deb, Trent, Snowey, Craig, Tim, Tash, Kim, Peter, Lachlan, Maddy, Rob, Emma & Mum) for without you, Kim & I would be lost.

Finally a special thanks to the sponsors for without them we couldn't offer what we did.

Sponsors were:-

Red Rooster Rockhampton
Complete Real Estate
Tennis Queensland
Tennis Australia
Central Region Assembly

Good luck to everyone in your tennis journey.

Until next time, hopefully see you around the courts

Glenn
