A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE STEELS CREEK TENNIS CLUB.

According to an article in "The Evelyn Observer" 19th May 1911, the Steels Creek Tennis Club was opened by Mr. E.C. Morris. It seems that the courts were on Mr. Fletcher's land.

Then on 21st February 1920 the Club was opened by Cr. W. Hubbard. It seems this was a different location, probably at what was known as Commerford Hill, just north of Valley Road.

In 1961 Bill & Mary Lawrence donated land to build the present courts, but it was 1988 before decent facilities became available. In the 1990's, the land was deeded over to the local Shire, but the Steels Creek Tennis & Social Club, Inc operated the facilities by agreement with the Shire.

Steels Creek players compete in the Eastern Region Tennis Association (http://www.ertinc.org.au/.

We are also affiliated with Tennis Victoria and the Mountain Area Ladies Tuesday tennis Association (MALTTA).
