🎾🎖️ LIFE MEMBERSHIP – Sandra Ryle 🎾😍
Our club is proud to award Life Membership to Sandra Ryle in recognition of her outstanding service and dedication to our club over the past two decades. Jana Rilett, the President of our club, congratulated Sandra and presented her with Life Membership pin at our last AGM on 29 March 2026 .
🎾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.
🎾From assisting in the canteen during competitions and Southern Tennis Association tournaments, to running the Friday night junior competition canteen, Sandra has always been willing to lend a hand wherever needed. 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.
🎾Please join us in thanking Sandra for her exceptional service. Her nomination for Life Membership was voted on at the Club's AGM on 29 March 2026.
👏 Thank you, Sandra, for everything you have done for our club!💐
