Pomonal Tennis Club grateful for Blue Ribbon donation

31 July 2024

Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat Branch has donated $20,000 to Pomonal Tennis Club.

Ararat branch president Dianne Radford said following conversations between branch members, Ararat Rural City Council, and the Pomonal community, it was unanimously agreed the $20,000 would be donated to Pomonal Tennis Club.

“The tennis club was eager to upgrade the tennis court area, which needs repair work to be playable again,” she said.

“The enthusiasm of tennis club members certainly has been heartwarming and with significant financial support confirmed from Ararat Rural City, via Mayor Bob Sanders who was in attendance, the contributions plus applying for a funding grant will result in an area that will accommodate tennis, netball and pickleball.”

Pomonal Tennis Club secretary Michelle Stewart welcomed the donation.

“Our Pomonal community is so grateful for this wonderful support from you all and are enthusiastically looking forward to taking this project with Ararat Rural City’s support to fruition,” she said.
