SOCIAL TENNIS Social tennis recommenced last Thursday with just four players turning up for a game. The four that made the effort really enjoyed a good afternoon’s tennis and it was hoped that yesterday more players would make an effort to play. New residents to Grenfell who would like a hit are most welcome to come along. Play commences at around 1.30 pm
