🎾Sandra first became involved with the club in 2006 when her children, Nathan and Katelin, began playing junior tennis. Since then, she has generously volunteered countless hours in a variety of roles that have helped our club thrive.

In 2018, she took on the responsibility of maintaining our club facilities, cleaning the clubrooms, caring for the gardens, and monitoring maintenance issues. Her attention to detail and pride in our club ensured that members and visitors alike enjoyed a welcoming and well-presented environment.
🎾In 2020, Sandra joined the Committee and served as Canteen Manager for four years, overseeing operations, supplies, and ensuring the smooth running of one of the club's most important services. Living close to the club, she was also regularly called upon to open and secure facilities for tradespeople, court users, and various club activities.
🎾Sandra's commitment, reliability, and willingness to help have made a lasting impact on our club community. Her contribution has been invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful for the time, care, and energy she has given over so many years.
