Handing on the Baton


We have had a changing of the guard at Wakehurst Tennis in the last year. Our long serving president and treasurer Warwick Bookallil stood down after 10 years in the role. At the annual general meeting earlier this year Wendy Sullivan was elected to the role of President. The club held a celebration to thank Warwick for his years of service to the club. During the evening the club presented Warwick with a plaque to commemorate his service. The picture in this post shows Wendy and Warwick with his plaque.
