The chairman explained that the Waimairi Tennis Club, which had had the use of the courts during the last two years, had removed to new ones at Watford Street. It was felt by the School Committee that a club was an asset to the school, and to the social life of the district; also the subscriptions would help the committee. On the motion of Mr J. N. M’Leod it was decided to form a club under the following conditions: That the subscriptions be 15s for senior players and 10s for juniors up to Twenty years of age: school children to have the use of the courts from 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m., except on Saturdays and holidays; Sunday play not to be allowed. It was decided to call the club the Windermere Tennis Club, and the following officers were elected: President, Mr J. M’Leod; vice-presidents, Messrs C. Wilkins, F. L. Drury, A. Goode, Savage and A. E. ITaynes; secretary and treasurer, Mr M. Paulger; committee, Mesdames M’Causland, Newman, Miss N. Coull, Messrs C. Wilkins, L. Dailey, C. M’Leod and C. E. Evans. It was decided to open on October 10, and to ask Mr H. S. S. Kyle, M.P., to perform the opening ceremony. Waimairi Tennis Club.
