Tony Simpson MLA, Andrea Mitchell MLA, and Fed Cup Captain Alicia Molik, were treated to a fabulous evening of food, wine, award presentations and entertainment, commencing with champagne and canapes in the beautiful gardens of Kings Park.<\/p>\n

Contortion act, Kinetica, alongside violinist Katherine Kruger, opened the event with a captivating routine, before Master of Ceremonies, Mr Peter Vlahos welcomed everyone to the event. This was followed by welcome speeches by Tennis West President, Greg Hutchinson, Andrea Mitchell MLA, CEO of Tennis West, Geoff Quinlan and major sponsor Acton Cottesloe & Dalkeith, represented by Rob Kilderry.<\/p>\n
