Col Ritchie - 60th Birthday Party - 11 December 2010


Does anyone know how much work Col puts into our Club? If you are a junior member, you probably know of the care he gives to organising Friday nights and the care he gives to make sure new players receive a warm welcome. If you are a competition player, you probably know how much time Col is prepared to put into finding a reserve for you. If you notice how good our courts looks, you probably know how much time Col puts into cleaning and maintenance. So many of us have benefited from Col's hard work. 

10 years ago club members joined together on the occasion of Col's 50th birthday to celebrate and say thank you for his generousity in making our club the friendly place to play. After 10 more years of  selfless service, we have another opportunity to thank Col and celebrate his 60th birthday.

The party night has been booked for 11 December 2010 starting at 7:00 PM. Write that date in your diaries now. It will be an opportunity for you to wear any of your purple clothing that may have otherwise gone out of style. The menu will be another of Col's famous Chicken and Prawn feasts. There will be plenty of Elvis Presley music and other selections from Col's extensive library of 1960/70 music.

Tickets cost $30 (adults) and $15 (children)... anything left over after buying the food will be used as a birthday present for Col. Many of you will want to give Col your own birthday present. It is suggested that a gift in cash would be most appropriate. Tickets can be purchased at the Bar... or go to the Social Events page on our Web Site (at: http://tennisvalley.com.au/social.php) and select 'Col’s Prawn & Chicken Night'.
All NSTA Player, previous Tennis Valley members and parents of Juniors are all welcome. Lets make this a night that Col will remember!
