Once again the Milton Ulladulla Tennis Club will be hosting its annual senior's tournament on Friday to Sunday, February 21-23. The Ulladulla Tennis Centre in Warden Street will be a hive of activity with over 200 players plus their entourages aged from 35 to 80 from around NSW, ACT and Victoria, converging on the Ulladulla district. Beginning in 1999 as part of the Ulladulla Summer Games initiative, the 2020 tournament will mark the 22nd time the event has been held.

This popular tournament appeals to many due to the friendships, camaraderie and good times that the competition will bring and many players stay in the area for a holiday afterwards. On Saturday, February 22, the club will host a barbecue for competitors and volunteers for everyone to get together and socialise off the courts.

Residents and visitors are invited to witness some exceptional tennis being played and to see the outstanding facility we have in Ulladulla. Entry to the complex is free and there are many viewing areas throughout with first class catering services. Any members who can help out should contact Jennie Rutherford on 0421 915 034.
