"This has got to be the best tennis facility in the district," said local federal MP Dr David Gillespie while looking-over facility.
Dr Gillespie paid tribute to the tennis club’s committee and driving force, president Wendy Hudson, on their effort to deliver a state-of-the-art clubhouse to the community.
The clubhouse completes the latest stage of construction for a multi-purpose sports facility for the Camden Haven community in Kendall.
President Wendy Hudson paid tribute to funding granted from the federal and state governments and the assistance of Port Macquarie-Hastings Council in securing land from state rail on which to expand the tennis club for its 300-plus members.
She said the builders Martin Hocking and Mark Fyffe, and labour donated by local tradesmen and volunteers made the funding dollars stretch even further to deliver a clubhouse better than the club expected.
Wheelchair tennis champ Janel Manns was on hand for the opening and said she had a hand in consulting on the finer details of accessibility to the courts and clubhouse.
The effort of the tennis club committee and the community of Kendall in supporting them, shows people living in a small town can think big and enjoy the best facilities when they work together and secure the support of government.
