Congratulations to Dianne Linforth, Kathy Glass, Kat Glass and Graeme Glass for being awarded the Tennis Service Award by Tennis Victoria.
This is an award to recognise and acknowledge devoted and significant service to one or more of the State Tennis Association affiliated clubs. The recipients of this Award have certainly made a long contribution to tennis in these areas over an extended period of time. A list of past Service Award Winners can be viewed on Tennis Victoria’s Website.
The Doutta Galla Tennis Club has been fortunate to have been provided with the wonderful service of four fantastic volunteers. All are deserving Life Members of the Club after giving many years of service.
Husband and wife duo Graeme and Kathy Glass have been involved in the club since 1990. Graeme took on the role of Treasurer for 10 years while Kathy occupied the role of Junior Coordinator for 17 years until 2006.
Graeme, a Member since 1964, was a significant instigator at the club, installing lights on all three of its courts and played a significant role in the resurfacing of the courts during this time. With an impending drought and water restrictions, the selection of surface and obtaining a grant to fund this project was vital in ensuring the club could remain viable and could continue to provide a first class facility to its members.
Both Kathy and Graeme add Tennis Service Awards to their Doutta Galla Tennis Club Life Membership status.
Daughter of Kathy and Graeme, Kat Glass was also recognised with a Tennis Service Award. Kat took on the role of Club Treasurer when her father retired from the committee. Over the last 15 years, Kat’s efforts in monitoring the upkeep of the club’s finances has been first class.
Also receiving a Tennis Service Award was long-standing volunteer Dianne Linforth. Dianne has been a part of the club committee in some capacity since 1982, and most notably was club secretary from 1984 – 1996. A life member, Dianne has also served as an assistant delegate to the North Suburban Ladies Tennis Association alongside Kathy.
The club is well known for its outstanding volunteers with Club President Aaron Sharpe receiving a Highly Commended Tennis Service Award earlier in the year.
Combined they have given over 80 years of service to the Club and the local Associations
Each Member of the Club has given valuable service and contributed greatly for the growth of the Club.
Congratulations to Kathy, Graeme, Kat and Dianne on your wonderful contribution to the Doutta Galla Tennis Club.
The Award Winners have been featured on Tennis Victoria’s News Web Site.
