SUNDAY | 12 APRIL 2026 PRESENTED BY Celebrating service, sport and community Collaroy Tennis Club , together with our event partner, RSL LifeCare - Northern Beaches Veteran Wellbeing Centre , is proud to host Return Serve. This free event in the lead up to ANZAC Day, shows our gratitude to all those who have served or are currently serving in the Australian Defence Force, as well as their families, for everything they’ve given to protect our freedoms. We see Return Serve as one small step in helping veterans to connect and thrive in their local community, using our wonderful sport as a catalyst for wellbeing and social connection. The event is proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with Dee Why RSL Sub-Branch. OUR CHANCE TO RETURN SERVE This event was inspired specifically by one of our own, much-loved Club members, who himself is a Veteran , having served in Vietnam. It’s wonderful to see him enjoying the sport he loves in a warm, welcoming and friendly environment. We genuinely appreciate the service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families and decided we could use tennis to ‘return serve’ to some small extent. So as ANZAC Day approaches, show your support and respect by joining in some fun family activities, playing in a FREE friendly Round Robin Doubles Tennis Tourney, or just by coming along!

The war was raging in Vietnam and in 1971, Bob was called up for National Service with the Australian Army. “The call up was very hard for me to digest”, says Bob. “I had just been offered a professional contract with World Championship Tennis and was playing Davis Cup overseas. Three days after winning all three matches I played in that Davis Cup Tie, I was ready to tour the world for the next six months. Then a telegram arrived. ‘Please return to Australia immediately for 2 years of National Service’. After dreaming and training for years to be a professional, to be honest, the news was devastating. 55 years ago… doesn't seem possible. However, as a result of that National Service, to this day I have the utmost respect for our Military and all our Veterans.” After two years of National Service, Bob returned to professional tennis, achieving a career-high ranking of World No. 16. Bob still serves the community as Northern Beaches Councillor for Narrabeen Ward. He has been awarded the Australian Defence Medal, the Australian Sports Medal and the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM). Bob will be present at Collaroy Tennis Club for Return Serve on April 12.

For example, this could be information provided by you in response to ATO surveys or competitions. 3. HOW IS PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED? 3.1 Generally, an ATO will collect personal information directly from you. For example, an ATO may collect personal information: (a) provided by you, if you: (i) are a tennis or padel player; (ii) attend a tennis or padel activity or event and participate in activities during that event; (iii) purchase a ticket or a corporate hospitality package to a tennis or padel event from an ATO or an authorised agent or licensee; (iv) purchase merchandise, or other products or services, from an ATO or an authorised agent or licensee; (v) are a Tennis Australia or Padel Australia Coach Member, Tennis Hot Shots deliverer and/or Cardio Tennis deliverer; (vi) wish to apply for employment at, or volunteer for, an ATO; (vii) wish to provide services to an ATO; (viii) enter a competition or promotion being conducted by an ATO; (ix) engage with an ATO via email, telephone, mail or social media; (x) elect to receive tennis related newsletters or other information; (xi) submit information to an ATO in an application or consent form, survey, feedback form, incident report or complaint; or (xii) when you enter your personal information, or consent to your personal information being entered into, one of Tennis Australia’s online IT systems or an IT system managed by another ATO (IT Systems), (b) when you engage with an ATO in the course of it providing and delivering tennis related services, operations and other activities, including automatically when you use one of Tennis Australia’s websites or mobile applications (for example, http://www.tennis.com.au/, http://www.ausopen.com , http://cardiotennis.com.au/, http://hotshots.tennis.com.au ), http://www.padel.org.au , or a website or mobile application managed by another ATO (collectively, the Websites and Apps); and (c) that is given to it by another ATO or a third party in the course of its business.

For example, IT vendors who develop, test and maintain IT Systems, Websites and Apps, medical consultants who provide medical services at events, corporate partners and sponsors who support the ATO’s activities, or individuals who carry out research, or the compilation or analysis of statistics, relevant to the ATOs (Third Parties). These Third Parties are granted access to your personal information only as needed to supply products and services to the ATO. Third Parties may be located outside Australia (for example, in Belgium, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States of America). Other than as described below, an ATO will require a Third Party to protect your personal information under their contract with the ATO, including appropriate confidentiality provisions and requirements to comply with Australian privacy laws. 5.4 Like many other organisations, an ATO may also provide information to third parties who serve advertising on websites or apps that an ATO does not operate, or who provide online marketing platforms (including via social media). This information is shared so that we can serve you with more useful and relevant advertising, and to measure its effectiveness. An ATO will not generally share your name or other information that directly identifies you. Instead, an ATO will use its best endeavours to ensure that the information provided for this purpose is encrypted or an advertising identifier such as a cookie or device identifier is used.

In fact, I’d never heard of wheelchair sport. But after having a hit, tennis felt like a long-lost friend who’d come back to me. It began to open doors I never knew existed, sending me places I’d never been, and giving me chances to meet people I’d never met. Tennis fueled the fire inside me and with that fire, I marched on for the next 15 years, cultivating a career out of my dream to win a gold medal for Australia.” David Hall, OAM - former World No.1, Paralympic Gold Medallist and six-time ITF Wheelchair Tennis World Champion REGISTER TO ATTEND To help us with catering for the big day, please let us know you’re coming and if you’re bringing friends and family.

Story and Photos DIGNITARIES EVENT 25 May 2022, Wednesday 11am A morning tea at Collaroy Tennis Club, at which Northern Beaches Council Mayor, Michael Regan, officially unveiled a centenary plaque, commemorating our 100 years of service to the local community. Story and Photos HERE COMES THE SUN 7 May 2022, Saturday 4pm An official ceremony at which Club Sponsor, Belle Property, ‘turned on’ the Solar Panels and solar batteries that have made us the first fully sustainable tennis club on the Northern Beaches and one of the only such clubs in all of New South Wales. Story and Photos A Timeline of our Club's History Having been proclaimed as a Crown Reserve on 20 May, 1914, Griffith Park (named in honour of then Minister of Works, Arthur Griffith who secured the land for the public), was acknowledged by Warringah Shire Council as “A significant area offering an outstanding range of scenic, natural, environmental, social, heritage, educational and recreational assets.” The Council proposed setting aside a section of the park for “… laying out a cricket oval, football ground and enclosures for tennis and lawn bowls”. 1921 Council approval for recreational tennis at Griffith Park Shire President, Cr Arthur George Parr, confirmed that Council had given approval for a section of Griffith Park near Anzac Avenue be set aside for recreational tennis and construction commenced on two ‘sand’ / loam courts. A year later, the first (white) ball was struck on Centre Court by the newly elected first Club President, William Alexander Makim. 1922 First play at Collaroy Tennis Club In the same year that King George V opened the new Centre Court at Wimbledon, play is first held on the two newly built loam courts of Collaroy Tennis Club. Membership was opened and a Committee elected with W.A. Makim as our first President. An old shed situated behind Court 2 served as our first clubhouse. 1932 Tennis continued its popularity even during The Great Depression The world was still in the grasp of The Great Depression, but the feats of Aussie tennis players including Jack Crawford (pic.), Harry Hopman, Vivian McGrath and rising stars Adrian Quist and Nancye Wynne Bolton helped ward off any slump in the sport’s popularity… and Collaroy Tennis Club continued to thrive and grow its membership. 1942 The Club survived World War II On the night of May 31, one of three Japanese midget submarines entered Sydney Harbour following a Manly Ferry through the established boom defences. Having sunk the HMAS Kuttabul by mistake, that sub was damaged as it escaped the Harbour and headed north. It snuck right past our club off Long Reef Headland, making it to Bungan Head near Newport before sinking. A week later, a larger submarine returned to bombard Sydney with its deck guns from open water. Though close to the action (and an obvious target) Collaroy Tennis Club survived its brush with World War II. A year earlier, Joan Gilroy and Ernie Ode who’d met at CTC, were married and started a family with daughter Ros still playing at the Club today. 1952 Construction of a 3rd court and larger Clubhouse and first teams entered in Sydney Badge Frank Sedgman was tearing up world tennis and 17 year old Ken Rosewall was just a year away from becoming the youngest player to ever win the Australian title (a feat which stands to this day). Elizabeth II was crowned Queen and ‘The Petith Dynasty’ at Collaroy Tennis Club had its beginnings as Greg was born, to be followed just two years later by Mark. (Tennis would never be the same again.) Construction commenced on a 3rd court and a larger clubhouse, and Collaroy Tennis Club entered its first teams in the Sydney Badge Competition run by Tennis NSW. 1962 The Club’s 40th Anniversary Soviet missile bases were discovered in Cuba, John Glenn became the first astronaut to orbit the Earth and Rod Laver won the first of his two Calendar Grand Slams. A party was held to mark our 40th anniversary at which members grooved along to a song called ‘Love Me Do’ – the debut single of a new young band from Liverpool, England. Just one year later, Life Member Bob Silversides joined Collaroy at the age of 15… and he’s held near-continuous membership ever since! Congratulations Bob. 1972 The Club’s 50th Anniversary and 100 member milestone The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) was founded and Ken Rosewall won his fourth Australian Championship to now become both the youngest and the oldest player to do so. More importantly, members of Collaroy Tennis Club celebrated the Club’s 50th anniversary! Over the ensuing decade, the Club almost doubled its membership to around 100. 1973 Current President joins the Club Our Centenary President, Vito Cincinnato (seen here far right of photo with wife Megan) joined the Club and has been a stalwart ever since. 1979 Tennis at Collaroy Tennis Club circa 1979 Sony released the Walkman, The Knack topped the charts with 'My Sharona', 'Trivial Pursuit' was launched and tennis at Collaroy continued unabated, though the old clubhouse was on its last legs. 1979 The old Clubhouse circa 1979 The old clubhouse was temporarily replaced with a shed before a new clubhouse was built some 9 years later. 1982 A Thriller year for the Club! A massive year for the Club. While Martina Navratilova won the first of her three Australian singles crowns and Michael Jackson released ‘Thriller’, our members were themselves thrilled that: o Council extended our Lease for a further 20 years o Work commenced on the construction of three new courts with the surface of all courts transitioning to synthetic grass o New lighting would be installed on all courts o The design of a brand new clubhouse was approved, with local player Arthur Gartrell appointed as Architect. o And Collaroy Tennis Club fielded more teams in district competitions than any other club in the MWTA. We had up to 17 teams competing and had to hire outside courts to accommodate them. 1982 Michael Peters, Bob Paterson and Carol Coram sign Deed of Trust Including State Government assistance from the Department of Sport and Recreation, the cost for the complete upgrade of our Club was in excess of $300,000. Committee Members Michael Peters, Bob Paterson and Carol Coram resigned from the committee in order to become Trustees, guaranteeing a loan from the Bank of New South Wales to cover the work. The Deed of Trust was duly signed on February 28. 1982 Members digging in to build our new Club Members volunteered their labour to prepare the base of the new courts and help install the light poles and the new 6-court complex was opened for play on June 2, 1982. However local residents lodged a complaint with the Land & Environment Court causing construction of the new clubhouse to be delayed for six years! In the meantime, members were forced to make do with an Atco shed as their temporary clubhouse. 1983 The ATCO shed as temporary clubhouse Court Hire fees to members of the public were increased by $1 per hour, to help cover the unexpected costs incurred by the delay to construction of the clubhouse and associated ongoing maintenance costs. Around that same time the MWTA (now Tennis Northern Beaches) introduced Night Competitions for the first time. Collaroy fielded one of the first teams in the Wednesday Night Men’s Comp., consisting of Mark and Greg Petith, John Kelly, Dave Vincent, Clarrie Bridges and Warren (‘Horry’) Marsden. They made the Final, playing a team destined to become their arch rivals for years – ‘The Burglars’, comprising members of Bareena Park Tennis Club (ironically captained by now Club committee member, Dave Keogh). 1988 The new clubhouse takes shape in 1988 Australia celebrated our Bicentennial on January 26, the Summer Olympics are held in Seoul, South Korea and construction starts on a brand new clubhouse at Collaroy. 1989 The new Clubhouse completed The new clubhouse opens its door in 1989. 1992 Many celebrations were held after the Clubhouse completion Bill Clinton is elected President of the U.S. and the Summer Olympics are held in Barcelona, Spain with Jennifer Capriati stunning Steffi Graf to win the Gold Medal. Three years earlier, our brand new clubhouse had been completed, seven years after plans had been lodged, and many celebrations were held within its walls in 1992. 2002 The Club hits 150 members, but needs more ladies! Brazil defeats Germany to win the FIFA World Cup and Lleyton Hewitt wins The Championships at Wimbledon, extending his ranking as world No. 1 after becoming the youngest male in the ATP era to earn top ranking at just 20 years of age. Collaroy Tennis Club hits 150 members in 1992, though still with an imbalance of men. We need more ladies! 2010 Evolve Tennis Academy appointed Coaching Partner After consultation with members, the committee made the somewhat controversial decision to move on from long-time coach Peter Cullen and appoint Evolve Tennis Academy led by Ryan Maloney and Scott Fletcher as the Club’s new Coaching Partner. It was a tough call that has paid dividends. 2021 2021 Most Outstanding Tennis Club or Venue – Metro Collaroy Tennis Club receives the prestigious award of ‘Most Outstanding Tennis Club or Venue – Metro’ from Tennis NSW.
