Congratulations to Margaret Elliot on receiving a Tennis Victoria Service Award! Margaret has held multiple roles at Kilmore Tennis Club since 1990 and has made a huge impact on the club since her arrival.

She has also held multiple roles within the Broadford and District Ladies Tennis Association in this time. Margaret since coming to the Kilmore community 30 years ago (having never played tennis) has had a significant impact on the Kilmore
Tennis Club. She has played Monday Ladies Tennis right up to last year, as part of the Broadford & District Ladies TA, and at different times part of their Executive Committee. In 2008. Margaret was awarded with Life Membership of the Kilmore Tennis Club

Margaret has been an internal cog in the wheel at Kilmore Tennis Club. She has also ran the Thursday morning social tennis for many years. She has been a valued member of the committee, always willing to take on projects & participate. The club is forever in debt for the years of work, that Margaret has put in since 1990 and although she has just moved off the committee in recent weeks, we know that she continue to be part of the club and support us in all our endeavors.

With Margaret living on the same road as the tennis club, Margaret has always been a person we could rely on to help support the club in any way possible. Margaret led the club during in 2007 & 2008, whilst working with council in managing the competition of the building of the new clubrooms. More recently, Margaret helped in the project of our new clubrooms, also new courts + lighting + recently solar panels for the club

From 2005-2018, Margaret ran the Wednesday Night Social Competition which has consistently brought in new players to the club and a major income stream for the club. For the last 2-3 years, Margaret has organised major fundraisers at Kilmore Trackside and has helped in running the Bunning Sausage Sizzle and other forms of fundraising.

Margaret has been a valued member of the community at Kilmore Tennis Club and deserves the recognition for all the effort she has put into the club.
