 Nathan LAMBERT (Preston) (13:58): Keon Park Tennis Club celebrated its 70th birthday on the weekend, and I would like to congratulate Bruce McCredden, Jacqui Mackertich, Sharon Read, Vicki Powell, the Burns family, the Fielding family and everyone at that club on their significant milestone. I would like to particularly recognise the contribution of Valma Murphy, who helped found the club back in 1953. Valma is in her 90s, and sadly she could not get along to the 70th anniversary. I understand she is in hospital, but she did send a lovely message, which ended by saying, ‘Tennis is a great game that teaches life skills as well as tennis skills. May the friendships and memories you make serve you through your life.’ Well said, Valma. We wish her the best of luck with her health.
