With the 2010/2011 Summer tennis season coming to a close, it was time for the tennis community to take their sweatbands off and come together to celebrate a brilliant year of tennis!
The 2011 Tennis Industry Awards Night supported by Chambers Investment Planners had a change of scenery and saw 200 guests flock to the South of Perth Yacht Club. Accompanying the tennis enthusiasts was channel 9’s Greg Pearce who MC’d the evening.
The night was about bringing the tennis community together and acknowledging outstanding achievements both on and off the court. Please see below a list of all the winners on the evening There were also awards dedicated to Officials, Brikmakers Tennis League and Senior of the Year.

Once the official proceedings were over, guests were invited to the stage to demonstrate their ‘non-tennis’ moves on the dance floor…this proved to be rather eye opening and humerous to say the least!
Another BIG winner on the night was Tennis Officials Sue Tribe who took out the first prize in the raffle, securing herself a pearl pendent worth over $1,000 courtesy of Linneys jewelers.
Congratulations to all winners on the night, and to all who came along to the event, displaying great camaraderie and fellowship. Thank you also to all the sponsors who supported the event. Without your ongoing commitment events such as these would not be possible.
