Sometimes there’s a need for a post like this. A pointer to a time when a Nollamaran might have been expected to don the whites and hire a tennis court. They might have had high tea too. With Noel Coward. By Orbea.

Now whistle through the wire o song of mem’ry
To us recall those mighty long-gone days
When rough but ready gentlefolk did sport
On Nollamara’s fair asphaltic courts.
And there, by Swan Gold’s grace, did play a set…..
