This year’s Chair’s Award for Club Volunteer of the Year 🏆 will be shared by two volunteers:
Jon Gould and Jon Burton in recognition of their outstanding contribution to Bridgwater Tennis Club 👏👏

🏆Jon Burton
Although Jon spends part of the year in Tenerife, he has for several years organised the twice-weekly Friendly Fours sessions throughout the year. These sessions remain very popular with members 🎾
He has also played a key role in establishing the monthly Saturday tournaments.
Jon also organises and runs the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning charity event, known at the club as the Championship Tie Bake 🍰raising more than £300 each year for Macmillan Cancer Support.
His efforts help bring members together through tennis, cakes, raffle-ticket sales and a strong sense of club community.
Sadly Jon was unable to attend the presentation to accept the award in person.

🏆Jon Gould
Jon willingly took on responsibility for maintaining the astro courts, which need sweeping every three weeks 🚜He is also closely involved behind the scenes, meeting contractors and most recently overseeing the new floodlighting project for the hard courts 💡💡
He has introduced pickleball to the club, which has proved extremely popular.
He also finds time to captain four league tennis teams🎾
Special thanks must go to Jon’s wife, Lynn, for allowing the club to borrow so much of his time.

Congratulations to them both! 🎉 🎉 🎉 very well deserved, and a big thank you from Bridgwater Tennis Club!
