Wells Tennis Club Celebrates Somerset LTA Award Winners Brian and Juliet

Wells Tennis Club is proud to announce that two of its most dedicated members, Brian Clarke and Juliet Matthews, have been honoured at the Somerset LTA County Awards. Brian received the esteemed LTA Lifetime Achievement Award, while Juliet was named Volunteer of the Year, recognizing their outstanding contributions to the club and wider community.

 

 

For over 22 years, Brian has been a driving force behind Wells Tennis Club, serving as Treasurer, President, and Chairman. His leadership was instrumental driving Wells Tennis Club forward and in reforming grant access for clubs across Somerset. A passionate player and advocate, he has tirelessly supported the club. His work, including plans for the Clarke Foundation to support junior tennis, makes him a truly deserving recipient of this prestigious award.

 

Since joining in 2021, Juliet has transformed the club’s social scene as Social Secretary. Organizing events such as the Christmas meal, Wimbledon celebrations, and charity fundraisers, she has raised over £4,000 for club improvements while strengthening the club’s community spirit. Her dedication, enthusiasm, and generosity have rightfully earned her the title of Somerset LTA Volunteer of the Year.

 

Wells Tennis Club is immensely proud of Brian and Juliet for their remarkable achievements. Their passion and commitment continue to inspire, and we look forward to an exciting 2025 season. Congratulations to both!

 

The presentation will be held in Taunton on Friday the 14th March and have a special guest presenter LTA President Sandi Procter.  If you want to go along, email Kevin for details.
