CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
With another successful year of tennis
behind us, the Annual Report is my
opportunity to look back at our progress
and achievements as an organisation in
2015/16. It is also an opportunity to look
ahead and share some of our priorities
and plans for the forthcoming year.
Underpinning everything is our financial
performance. There was a good result
again this year. This result is based on
another year of successful financial
management based on carefully balancing
revenues versus expenditures – whilst
always trying to achieve the greatest level
of service and benefits to the wider tennis
communities. Tennis Central Region (TCR)
continues to act prudently to be
sustainable – any surplus is added to
reserves – since the gratefully received
and vital funding from supporting
organisations can vary from time to time.
Honorary Chief Financial Officer Ian Miller
and CEO Tim Shannahan, as well as the
TCR management team, deserve special
mention here.
We have had more notable successes on
the court than ever before – with key
personal bests for some marquee players
– Marcus Daniell’s amazing results on the
doubles tour, culminating in his selection
for the Rio Olympic Games; Finn Tearney
– NZ Men’s number 1; Ajeet Rai – number
1 junior male, to name a few. The many TCR
players at US colleges have acquitted
themselves well, and there has also been
some fantastic results from the juniors –
with a continuation of the excellent
performances from players who are still
working on their development – with of
course the huge contributions from their
coaches, parents and supporters.
The Wellington Open was a great success
again – and there were many other
notable events – including the ITF junior
international grade 4 event held in
policies – both from central and
local government – to enable capital
expenditure to renew and update ageing
facilities. There is a gap in funding models
enabling sustainable sport organisation
operations for the good of the wider
community – including increased
contributions to facilities, operations,
administration and governance costs.
The Board’s 2016/17 strategic priorities
for Tennis Central Region will focus on
continuing to provide player pathways
and events and supporting clubs and
associations and others in areas of

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
The 2015/16 year marked my first full year
in the role of Chief Executive Officer with
Tennis Central Region, having only been
involved for a few months towards the
end of the previous financial year. On
that basis, I now have a far greater
understanding as to what Tennis Central
Region is and does to facilitate and
support tennis across the region.
I continue to be impressed by the
dedication and desire to succeed
demonstrated by those involved with
Tennis Central Region. The contributions
of Sandra Calder, Robyn Dry, Amelia
Harris, Mel Jansen, John Kane, Reilly
Logue (to August 2015), Ian Miller and Flo
Perret as the staff of Tennis Central
Region is greatly appreciated, not only by
myself but also by the wider tennis
community, based on the regular emails
voicing appreciation.
The Board has also been very active in
the past year, engaging in various
strategic projects, including the Regional
Performance Programme review, the
Organisational Development Tool process
and the development of a new Strategic
Plan for the period 2016 to 2021.
Numerous volunteers continue to make
substantial and valued contributions to
the outcomes achieved by Tennis Central
Region.
Thank you to every one of you for giving
of your time for the benefit of the sport
of tennis.
Tennis Central Region has been working
to a three-year Strategic Plan (2013–2016)
that concluded at the end of this
financial year. In assessing the
performance of Tennis Central Region
over the past three years, it is notable
that desired outcomes were achieved,
acknowledging the subjective nature of
the concept of achievement for some
items, in the following areas:
• Increase in the number of participants
in tournaments delivered.
• Increase in the number of qualified
coaches.
• Increase in the number of clubs
utilising Promato.
• Finn Tearney and Leela Beattie
achieving semi-final or better placings
at the New Zealand residential
tournament (and congratulations to
Finn on becoming New Zealand’s
number 1 ranked singles player during
the year).
• Ajeet Rai is New Zealand’s highest
ranked ITF junior male player.
• The number of players progressing to
United States college scholarships is
believed to be the highest of any
region.
• Enhanced engagement with Tennis
New Zealand at all levels.
• Enhanced relationships with various
non-tennis stakeholders (e.g. Sport
Wellington, Wellington City Council).
8
• Prudent financial management with
surpluses achieved all three years.
• The establishment and growth of an
infrastructure reserve to meet future
facility capital costs.
However, it is also appropriate to
acknowledge the following items were
not achieved to the desired levels:
• Central was not the leading region at
the national junior teams event.
• The Regional Performance Programme
was not supported as widely as
desired.
• Total club membership decreased by
578 members (7,109 in 2012/13; 6,531 in
2015/16).
• The number of interclub teams, both
senior and junior, decreased.
These outcomes in themselves highlight
where greater focus needs to be put in
the future. Tennis Central Region
commenced the process of addressing
these areas in the past year through the
following initiatives:
• The Regional Performance Programme
review.
• Altering the focus of the Regional
Development Manager’s role, signified
by the change in title to Participation
& Development Manager, so that the
role is no longer about delivering
participation programmes but instead
facilitating the delivery of participation
programmes by enabling and
developing the capacity of clubs
and coaches.
Looking ahead to the coming year, Tennis
Central Region has utilised both a review
of performance against the 2013–2016
Strategic Plan and information gathered
in undertaking Sport New Zealand’s
Organisational Development Tool as the
platform for establishing a new 2016–2021
Strategic Plan. The extended five-year
period is to align with Tennis New
Zealand’s Strategic Plan review in 2020 to
allow greater strategic synergies with the
national body in the future.
Management of the Renouf Tennis Centre
in Wellington remains a core
responsibility of Tennis Central Region.
The main facility at the Centre is now
more than 30 years old, and with any
building of that age, due diligence is
required to ensure it remains fit for
purpose, not only now but in the future.
The desire to develop an Asset
Management Plan that includes a
condition assessment and on-going
maintenance plan, has been a focus of
engagement with Wellington City Council.
Subsequent to the end of the financial
year, the Council committed to providing
the bulk of the funding for an Asset
Management Plan and it is hoped
in future years the Council will provide
an annual maintenance grant to assist
with maintaining a major sports facility
in the city. It is appropriate to recognise
Wellington Tennis Inc., and in particular
David Patterson, for supporting the
efforts of Tennis Central Region in
managing this facility.
Changes to health and safety
requirements with the introduction of the
Health and Safety at Work Act legislation
are being addressed by a Health & Safety
Committee. The initial focus of the
Committee is ensuring Tennis Central
meets its obligations, but as content is
developed to achieve that outcome, it will
be shared with clubs and associations for
wider use across the region.
Another positive financial year, with a
surplus achieved, is once again a
reflection on the prudent financial
management of Ian Miller and the Tennis
Central Region board. However, there are
concerning trends emerging in the
gaming sector that provide less certainty
moving forward that similar financial
results can be achieved by simply
continuing to operate in the same way.
The number of trusts Tennis Central
Region obtained finds from increased in
the past year, and thank you to the New

The challenge for any regional sport
organisation is delivering a vast number
of outcomes with insufficient resources.
Clearly, there is so much more that
everyone would like to see being done to
elevate the profile, participation and
performance levels of tennis across the
region. I trust that, in the coming year,
Tennis Central Region will achieve further
notable outcomes that deliver benefits
for the greater tennis community.

WAIRARAPA TENNIS
Wairarapa Tennis can boast a great number
of juniors coming through the ranks. Over
150 junior boys and over 100 junior girls
were affilated to Wairarapa Tennis this
season. We have over 20 teams in our
junior (12&U) interclub competition from
teams across the whole region.
A special mention to some of our juniors
who have competed succesfully in regional
and national events – Shane Colton, Chichi
Beck, Patrick Wall, Patrick Nicholson and
William Day.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2015/16
JUNIOR REPS
This season, we have been fortunate to
have the suport of Chad Parson to coach
and train some of our top junior players. I
would like to thank Chad for his on-going
support. Our junior reps played their first
match against Manawatu in October 2015,
which resulted in a fairly close overall loss.
It was a great start to the season, and we
look forward to hosting Bridget and her
team in Masterton this coming November.
We followed up that first fixture with a
convincing home win against Wanganui,
played in a great spirit. This coming season,
we will be travelling to Wanganui to play
against Gene and his awesome team.
Thanks also to Francis Glover and his
support crew for helping organise our
final rep match against Kapi Mana at the
Tawa-Lyndurst Tennis Club in March.
Although we were outclassed by a much
better team, we look forward to hosting
the Kapi Mana junior rep team in
Masterton next season.
SENIOR INTERCLUB – BIG WELCOME TO

Our post-Christmas Regional 2 Senior
Interclub competition was boosted with
the inclusion of Greytown. This team

featured former New Zealand tennis star
Belinda Cordwell and her son Henry Isaacs.
It was great to see them compete well this
season, and we look forward to working
with this proactive and succesful club in
the coming years.
RESURFACING AND LIGHTS
The home of Wairarapa Tennis is the
Masterton Tennis Club, which has 11
astro-turf courts. This season, with the
support of the local council and local
trusts, the Masterton Tennis Club received
funding to erect lights for courts 6, 7 and
8. Five of its courts have also been
resurfaced with new turf after over 30
years of play. Lighting is also being erected
at the Martinborough Tennis Club for its
two astro-turf courts and will be
completed by the start of the 2016/17
Rugby and Wellington Squash. We also
welcome Matt Spooner to the WTA Board.
Matt brings with him a rich family history
of tennis with strong links to the Carterton
Tennis Club. Matt has been involved with
Wairarapa Tennis in many ways and is
currently our senior men's champion.
Marco de Groot has been a long-serving
member of the Board and is based at the
Martinborough Club. As a player and a
coach, he has made a huge contribution to
our game over here in the Wairarapa.
Thanks so much Marco.
Wairarapa Tennis is not short of
challenges. We are a large region with only
a handful of affiliated clubs. Our challenge
is to work closely with schools and clubs
and build on what we have already
achieved. Key to our future success will be

TENNIS WANGANUI
The Wanganui Christie Cup team pulled off
a miracle in retaining the Christie Cup for
another season. The team really stepped
up to the plate without former
professional players Victor Romero and
Emma Hayman, and with Kyle Butters and
Paige Hourigan being on scholarships in
America (although Paige was available for
one tie), the team was heavily depleted.
However, team manager Dave Butters
pulled together a group of fighters led
by captains Simon O’Leary and Karen
Cranston that somehow, against the odds,
gained enough wins on the day to retain
the Christie Cup for another season.
The Wanganui Tennis Club continues to
have excellent numbers in the senior
categories with social doubles played on
Tuesday and Thursday mornings,
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday
afternoons and night competitions on
Monday and Tuesday evenings. This season
saw the introduction of a competitive
league for the more competitive seniors
and the top juniors on Thursday evenings.
This was very well supported and well
administered by Sean Edmonds, who is the
new senior rep team manager for the
upcoming season.
Margot Walden and a team of energetic
volunteers revived a Seniors’ Doubles
tournament that included two days of
round robin play, a dinner on the Saturday
evening at the Grand Hotel and prizes
sourced from local artists. This very
competitive but still very social event, held
in spectacular weather, was a big success
and is scheduled to continue annually
from now on.
The club has contracted Promac Coaching
as the new coaching business at the club
for the upcoming season and is looking

at the club for passing traffic.
Undoubtedly, the highlight of the season
Two family-oriented activities promoted
for juniors was the very successful
Slazenger Wanganui Junior Open, which
provided much positive feedback from
parents of visiting players as well as funds
to cater for a range of activities organised
by the Junior Committee. With
Development Officer Gene Ridgeway at the
helm, the tournament was extremely well
organised, helped by four days of fine
weather and a great team of helpers,
including those providing the tasty kitchen
treats.
Regular club days were provided after
school for primary school players on
Wednesdays and secondary school players
on Fridays. The Hot Shots segment
attracted about 30 youngsters new to the
game, while the Friday sessions were
boosted by a large contingent of Collegiate
players. Thanks to all those parents (and
other relations) as well as Gene and
teachers who helped make this a
successful club activity.
There were two organised competitions on
Saturday mornings, one for younger
players and the other for secondary school
players. While we would always like to
see more numbers competing, these
competitions provided valuable match
play opportunities for young players.
Coaching was provided for a raft of
groups, including rep squads through to
the daily coaching that was offered
during term 1 this year. This was a new
initiative to provide oppportunities for
players to play on as many days as they
liked while improving their tennis and
were Parent-Child and Family Fun Days,
and it is the intention to continue with
these as regular club activities (at least
one per month throughout the year).
Unfortunately, the rep teams struggled to
be competitive in their four matches,
which demonstrated the importance of
developing greater depth of numbers at
the club. This is being addressed by Tennis
Wanganui developing the Tennis in
Schools programme as well as the club
attracting a new coach. We look forward to
the new season with renewed energy and
confidence.
The club thanks the commitment of the
small group of parents on the committee
for their dedication and support
throughout the season.

PREMIER INTERCLUB
Kia ora and greetings everyone.
The Premier Interclub competition started
on 10 October 2015 and ran as smoothly as
usual with all guns blazing from clubs at
the top level.
The loss of good young top players to
US colleges showed that the experienced
players had to step up and confidently
lead the competition for the season.
This was amicably demonstrated and
recognised.
The pre-Christmas competition was
contested very highly between clubs in
all grades with the dominant clubs
Thorndon and Tawa-Lyndhurst in the Men’s
Premier 1 grade and Paraparaumu and
Lower Hutt in the Women’s Premier 1
grade.
After the pre-Christmas draw, the same
format used for the 2014/15 season was
applied for the post-Christmas draw. The
top six teams in Premier 1 played for the
ultimate prizes, with men playing for the
Jack Taylor Shield and women playing for
the Eva Travers Cup in the grand final.
The competition promoted and relegated
teams within the premier grades, including
the post-Christmas Premier 4 draw, which

making the prizegiving a glamorous and
Division 1 interclub. The rules were
implemented in such a way that the
competition maintained its professional
standard while being nationally recognised
by a number of players coming from
around the country.
Tennis Central staff along with the Premier
Interclub Committee worked hard to
present this competition. Without the
discipline of all involved to ensure that
this competition was administered
professionally, effectively and with a smile,
rewarding night.
Also a warm thank you to the many others
who have helped this season.
Finally, congratulations to all winners in
the Premier competition, and we hope
others will be inspired to and play again
next season.

when Ngaio 3 finally got ahead. Ngaio 3

they did not win by 5-1 and this was

Vogelmorn 2. It was a draw. Vogelmorn 2
finished second on 25 points.
Grade 4/5: The last round in this grade
was the decider for two teams Miramar 6

their rounds each week and vying for that
number one position. They played each
other in the last round which was a draw
and Vogelmorn got the bonus point, so the

• The Executive of the Midweek Section
– Thank you ladies for another great
season you have given us supporting the
Midweek Section of Tennis Central.
• To our Secretary, Jocelyn Reyners – her
first year in this position. Your support
and commitment to the Secretary’s
position is much appreciated.
• Thank you to the Match Committee
who sadly passed away on the 2nd January
2016. Dianna was involved in tennis for 35
years. In those years Di played interclub in
the summer for Khandallah and the winter
indoors until sadly she was forced to stand
down from playing in 2010.
Dianna took over the Recording
Secretary’s position when Marg Hewitt
stood down, that was in the season of
1998/99 till the end of 2014/15. She loved
figures so the recording secretary’s
position was spot on for her. She enjoyed
that contact with captains and players
from all clubs and even this last season
Di would ask how everyone was doing
when I would visit her each week to
report in.
The Midweek and Tennis Central are truly
grateful for her contribution to tennis over
so many years.
A familiar face and spirit within the tennis
community who will be sorely missed.
Robyn Dry
Chairperson
Tennis Central – Midweek Section
– Carol Carr, Susan Laurenson, Diana
Maunder, Donna Low and Sandy
Williamson for the support and
time that you gave over the season
– this was very much appreciated.
• To Sandra Calder, Senior Events

has helped us out on a number of
occasions, thank you also to Mel
Jansen for her contribution in
organising our guest speaker.

winners this year with 41 points and
Vogelmorn M1 who won it last year came

also the closeness of the third and fourth

REGIONAL PERFORMANCE CENTRE
Tennis Central is progressing into a new phase following an
incredible era for the Regional Performance Centre (RPC) and
Tennis Central.
Firstly, I want to thank the Renouf staff and the Tennis Central
Board for their on-going support and ability to help create what
I believe is the best tennis region in New Zealand. It’s been a
fantastic era of tennis: RPC player success at all levels ranging
from national titles, ITF titles, New Zealand teams, Australian
titles, European titles, junior grand slam competitors, US college
conversions and even professional tour titles. It would be a
challenge to find one single training environment anywhere else
in New Zealand that has produced these types of results on this
scale across the board.
This year has been all about transitioning our juniors into ITF
competitors and US college players whilst at the same time
offering support and a viable coaching base for New Zealand’s
number 1 junior boy (Ajeet Rai) and New Zealand’s number 1
professional male player (Finn Tearney).
This year, we experienced some new successes with players
involved in our structures.
• Finn Tearney became New Zealand’s number 1 male player this
past year, climbing from a ranking of 1,650 to be ranked 361 in
the world. Finn made his Davis Cup debut against Korea and his
professional ATP singles ASB Classic debut against Donald
Young. I have personally spent much of the year working with
Finn based here in Wellington and on the professional circuits
overseas. Finn has defeated numerous top 200 players this year,
and I hope to see him win more titles in the near future. Finn is
an important part of Tennis Central, our RPC training systems
and a leader for the next generation of players to come.
• Ajeet Rai has spent much of his year on the road with
his father and Central-based coach, Rakesh Rai. Ajeet is
New Zealand’s number 1 boy who this year won a New Zealand
ITF singles title and is the first Kiwi junior boy in three years to
win a grade 1 ITF event with his doubles victory in Berlin. Ajeet
has recently won victories over world top-50 juniors and, given
his ranking, will soon climb to be in the top 100. He will be
looking at competing in the junior grand slams over the next
12 months.
• On our talent radar is Ivy McLean who is now New Zealand’s
• Our current RPC squad consists of eight ITF-ranked juniors and
two more ITF winners in Finley Hall and Joshua Snowdon-Poole
who teamed up to win an ITF title in the Pacific. Ryo Minakata
was a doubles finalist who also made the ITF singles semifinals.
• This past year, our RPC has transitioned five more college
players to the USA college system (Dom Miller, Zach Whaanga,
KP Pannu, Kyle Butters and Maddie Young), and a further four
players will be ready and seeking scholarships in 2017.
I also want to congratulate Marcus Daniel who has recently won
two ATP doubles titles and has been selected for the New Zealand
Olympic team. I have witnessed Marcus’s work ethic here and his
sacrifices on the tour – his support of Wairarapa and Central
makes him an incredible asset to our region.
I would also personally like to congratulate the following players
– and their training environments – on their successes in 2016.
• George Stoupe (New Zealand 14s team) and Tamara Anderson
(New Zealand 16s team).
• US college scholarship players – Pratt Keerasuntonpong and
Charlie Hudson.
Finally, again thank you to the Tennis Central staff and Board for
their relentless support over the years – especially our Chairman
Phil Seemann who has been instrumental in the success of the
region and development of many players. Together, we all initially
set out to build a stronger region with inclusive policies to ensure
coaches and players are able to flourish in their environments.
It made us unique. However, the results speak for themselves.
As a supporter of Tennis Central, we must evolve even further
now given the current positive junior landscape. However, we
shouldn’t forget the results and energy required to get to this
point.

Gazley Nissan offered a brand new Nissan Qashqai for three lucky

For the third consecutive year, a special thank you to
MinterEllisonRuddWatts who provided the financial backing to
enable us to attract top players (a key ingredient), and we are
ever grateful for their support in helping to grow this tournament
for Central’s tennis fans from the beginning. Thanks to
supporting sponsors in Tecnifibre, Willis Wellington Hotel, Logan
Brown, Fairmont Estate, Gazley Nissan, Grill Meats Beer, Scooter
Design and MatchPint Bar.
Of course, we hope to attract more sponsors next year, giving
them an opportunity to showcase their products during the
tournament, enjoy the hospitality of Finals Day and be part of
defending champion Finn Tearney in a two-hour 2-6 6-4 6-4
hard-hitting match. Both players are within one ATP ranking spot
of each other, but with no ranking points on offer in Wellington,
the tournament key was prize money: $2,000 for the winner and
an opportunity to get ready for hitting the international circuit
again after the tough Davis Cup loss to Korea.
“It was a tough match. Finn is a great mover on the court, and I
had to really fight to get the match. There were just a couple of
points near the end of the match which I managed to get, and
that got me the win,” said Statham.
The women’s final had New Zealand national senior and junior
tennis champion, teenager Rosie Cheng from North Harbour
coming from a set down to defeat defending champion and
Central player Leela Beattie 2-6 6-3 6-2. The North Harbour teen
was relieved to win the contest after being a little erratic on the
way to the title. “She’s (Leela) a really good player, and we always
have good battles. She blew me away in the first set, I couldn’t
do anything,” said Cheng. “I was able to find my form a bit more
later in the match, which helped me get the win.”

Report on the Performance Report
We have audited the accompanying performance report of Tennis Central Region Incorporated on pages 70 to 73, which comprises
the entity information, statement of service performance, the statement of financial performance and statement of cash flows for
the year ended 30 April 2016, the statement of financial position as at 30 April 2016, and the statement of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
The Responsibility of the Board for the Performance Report
The Board is responsible on behalf of the entity for:
(a) Identifying outcomes and outputs, and quantifying the outputs to the extent practicable, that are relevant, reliable,
comparable and understandable, to report in the statement of service performance;
(b) the preparation and fair presentation of the performance report which comprises:
• the entity information;
• the statement of service performance; and
• the statement of financial performance, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows, statement of accounting
policies and notes to the performance report
in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Simple Format Reporting – Accrual (Not-For-Profit) issued in New Zealand by the
New Zealand Accounting Standards Board, and
(c) for such internal control as the Board determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the performance report that is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the performance report based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the
statement of financial performance, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows, statement of accounting policies
and notes to the performance report in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)), and the
audit of the entity information and statement of service performance in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance
Engagements (New Zealand) ISAE (NZ) 3000 (Revised). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the performance report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the performance report,
including performing procedures to obtain evidence about and evaluating whether the reported outcomes and outputs and
quantification of the outputs to the extent practicable, are relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
performance report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the performance report in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the performance report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Society.
Opinion
In our opinion:
a)
the reported outcomes and outputs, and quantification of the outputs to the extent practicable, in the statement of service
performance are suitable;
b) the performance report on pages 76 to 77 presents fairly, in all material respects;
• the entity information for the year then ended;
• the service performance for the year then ended; and
• the financial position of Tennis Central Region Incorporated as at 30 April 2016 and its financial performance, and cash
flows for the year then ended
in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Simple Format Reporting – Accrual (Not-For-Profit).
