A special thank you to Mesdames Suné Geldenhuys and Anmari Davids for taking charge and supporting us next to the tennis courts at the beginning of the year. Ms Wanri Venter is now the head of tennis at La Rochelle and with her at the helm, we look forward to the new heights tennis at La Rochelle will attain. We also owe our Coach, Johnnie Zulch, an enormous thank you – for always having a smile on his face and teaching us new tips and tricks. A quote by Dean Karkazes reads as follows: ‘ Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must – just never give up !’ Me g a n Ha a s b r o e k ( C a p t a i n )
