Opening of Grass Coat courts marked as Burra tennis boost
The postponed event saw the Grass Coat courts finally open at 2 30 pm with a ceremony led by B D M Steele president of the club. Five courts were prepared though only three ready due to severe frosts this winter. The courts, leased by the Roorings club, lie at the southern end of a town reserve near golf links. Steele praised the project and urged quick membership to avoid future waits as the courts would soon provide a hub for local tennis enthusiasts and physical recreation.
