The winners of the 2013 British Tennis Awards were presented with their trophies at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on Monday, 4th November. These awards recognise volunteers who give so much of their time to tennis, working behind the scenes working as committee members, competitions organisers and volunteer coaches to name a few.
Gary has been described as a true “pied piper” of tennis, encouraging clubs in the local area to pull together and creating opportunities for everyone to play. In his nominations we are told about Gary’s selfless commitment and constant enthusiasm for his role and Georgina Loosemore, Tennis Development Manager for Devon and Cornwall, noted that thanks to Gary players have a real sense of belonging and have gained a true love for the game.
The awards were presented by LTA President, Peter Bretherton and Julie Preston, Senior Sponsorship Consultant from Aegon.
