The Country 10/07/24: Todd Charteris and Trina Parker talk to Jamie Mackay

We announce the winner of the Rabobank Good Deeds Competition - the Te Mata Tennis Club - in a small rural community near Raglan in the Waikato. The tennis club was strong in the 1970s through to the 1990s however in the late 90’s the community club dwindled in numbers and the court condition deteriorated due to lack of use, and maintenance, leading to the eventual club cessation, with the last AGM in 2003. There has been significant population growth in Te Mata over the last 15 years as well as increased interest in tennis, and a group of locals - including a representative from the near-by school - recently re-established the club committee and started discussions around upgrading the courts. A project plan has now been developed with the aim of resurfacing the courts and upgrading the facilities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
