On 19 February 2022, we held our Annual Dinner and Presentation Night in the Committee Room at the MCG, hosted by Allan Stone. It was our first dinner for two years due to Covid so all attendees had an enjoyable time celebrating the achievements of our club members and catching up with other members. Attendees were treated to in depth discussions with Alana Parnaby, who plays in our Women’s Premier League team and won the Victorian Hardcourt Championships at the end of 2021, and our chairperson Chiro Mukerjea.
We look forward to hosting further dinners at the MCG with all members over the coming years.
