CONGRATULATIONS to Kate Swenson who was awarded the Northam Lawn Tennis Club's Club Member of the Year Award for the 2013/14 season at the tennis evening dinner wind-up on April 13.
Sponsors Dennis and Kathy Saunders proudly presented the trophy to Swenson who graciously received the award and spoke highly of the club involvement and team effort.
Swenson has been very involved with the promotion of junior tennis as the junior tennis co-ordinator over the last three years volunteering many hours at junior coaching that runs over two terms.
Junior coaching participation has been very popular and successful under the watchful eye of Kate.
Numbers for term four last year were 29 students and increased in term one this year to 35 students.
For the first time, tennis was included in the Northam Inclusive Community Holiday Program in late January with 29 participants with five signing up for junior coaching lessons.
Swenson has also been instrumental with the organisation of the junior doubles tournament.
She was also acknowledged as the main co-ordinator of the annual quiz night fundraising event that attracted a crowd of 120.
