Help Needed – Citrus Sculptures @ Griffith SpringFest!

It’s that time of year again folks – the annual Griffith Spring Fest is almost upon us, running from Sunday, 13 October 2019 to Saturday, 26 October 2019.

We need your assistance to assemble the Griffith Tennis Club Giant Tennis Racquet from 7am Sunday the 13th October. Everyone is welcome (there’s heaps to do) and It’ll be great fun for the little ones. All helpers will need to wear closed shoes, and bring a bucket –

See you Sunday!

Last year’s Sculptures

In memoriam, Tom Condon

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Tom Condon.

Tom has been one of, if not the greatest, supporter of tennis in the area – a tireless supporter of the Griffith Tennis Club, a keen player his whole life, constant tournament sponsor and Life Member.

Tom’s love of tennis was infectious, and will live on in the hearts and racquets of his children, their children and beyond. Tom was also immortalised in 2013 with the unveiling/naming of Court 8 – the Tom Condon court.

Our thoughts go out to Tom’s Wife, Jan, and their children who were with him at the end.

A public service will be held on Saturday 17th August at 11am in the Church of St Therese, Yenda, followed by light refreshments at the Yenda Diggers Club.
