COMMITTEE 

The VicTennis committee works to ensure ongoing opportunities for all members to come together through Tennis. This includes facilitation of our week night competitions and GLTA tournaments as well as the weekly running of Sunday Social.

 

Elections traditionally occur at our AGM in August and new volunteers are always encouraged to lend a hand in the ongoing operation of the club.

 

In 2024-25 the VicTennis committee is made up of:

 

President: Jamie Fakes

Vice President: James Taylor

Secretary: Garth Ebelthite

Treasurer: Mike O’Brien

Ordinary Members: Joel Snowden, Leo Cistullo, Sam Gray, Ward Peeters
