Don’t forget to grab your tickets and fling on your bling for the official Awards Night of the Cottesloe Tennis Club Tournament and Round Robins events, plus a few fun prizes you won’t expect.

An outstanding Master of Ceremonies will preside over the evening which includes a 3-course meal for just $30. The bar will be open for purchases to accompany your dinner.

If you couldn’t make the Oscars this year then come join the Stars of CTC at our own annual Night-of-Nights!

Tickets available from social committee members or just ask down at the Club – please confirm your attendance ASAP.
