2012 marks the 12th year of the ‘Thanks’ awards recognising the contribution volunteers have on our sporting life. Tennis ACT would like to offer you the chance to nominate a member of you club who goes above and beyond the work of a volunteer, and nominate them for the ‘Thanks’ award.<\/p>\n

The award recognises the contribution of volunteers to sporting communities in Canberra, and currently more than 250 volunteers have been acknowledged for their work. In 2011 David Gray a volunteer at Forrest Tennis Club was a deserving recipient.<\/p>\n
