It is with deep regret to announce the passing of Robyn Castle - Life Member and Secretary of TSNSW for the past 15 years and a long-time member of the Committee.
She battled hard against the disease Myeloma for the past decade while continuing her tireless work for TSNSW.
Robyn was awarded the TSA Administrator of the Year in 2003
and Life Membership of TSA in 2019. In 2012 the Blacktown City Council renamed the courts that she managed at Kings Langley, the Robyn Castle Tennis Complex.
TSQ send our deepest condolences to Arthur Olsen, her family and all her tennis friends, she will be greatly missed by all. RIP Robyn.

Swan Hill 2022 Australian
Seniors Championships Cancelled
(posted
November 25, 2021)
Discussions were held following receipt of a recommendation from TSV to cancel the carnival week
scheduled for Swan Hill in January 2022. Upon consideration of the circumstances TSA has decided both
weeks of the Australian Seniors Championships be cancelled for 2022 and that TSV reprogram the two weeks
for 2023.
The
Teams Carnival was
deemed unviable due to
the low number of teams
nominated, the reasons
for which stem from
Covid-19 and the
uncertainty around
travel arrangements
to/from the various
States. The same factors
also impact the
Individual Championships
but, as in 2021, TSA is
seeking interest from
the Divisions to hold
them later in 2022.
