HRTC Club Bar Chits
 
Firstly, many members may not be aware that Sally Crosby our most recent bookkeeper has stepped aside from her duties at the Club and a new bookkeeper Russell Goonan is in the process of learning the ropes as Sally's replacement. We would like to thank Sally for the work she has done, wish her the best of luck with her future endeavors (she may even play more tennis!) and at the same time welcome Russell to the Club.

In order to help Russell with the change over, members are asked to please make sure they print their full names LEGIBLY on all bar chits. This will save Russell and invariably the Club much time and money trying to decipher who bought what.
