It was wonderful to have over 200 people help celebrate the 2015 Tennis SA Award winners last Friday night at Next Gen.
MC Ben Hook did a fabulous job in running the show and we were honoured to have many special guests attend, including; Tennis SA Life Members, Tennis SA Board Members, The Hon. Gerry Kandelaars MLC, Member of the Legislative Council, City of Charles Sturt Deputy Mayor Robert Randall, City of Unley Mayor Lachlan Clyne, City of Playford Deputy Mayor Duncan MacMillia, State League and Ken McGregor Committee Members, sponsors (Coopers and Quin Sports & Nets) and other associated tennis community members.
In addition the awards presented, Chris Altman was presented his long-awaited official Tennis SA Life Membership pin. As well as unique insight into the world of sports team and athlete management from the guest speaker for the evening, Garry Winter, who manages two of our hometown favourites, Leyton Hewitt and Thanasi Kokkinakis.
