Gail has been a Tournament Director for many Open and
Veterans tournaments in Queensland. She is respected by
players from other States because of her involvement in
Queensland Vets Titles and the Australian Tennis Vets
Championships.
In January, 2004 she was Tournament Director for ITF
Australian Tennis Vets Championships held on Gold Coast with
players participating from all Australian States - 808 in
Teams Event & 520 in Individual Event. This involved
co-ordinating matches at 14 different Centres from Tweed Heads
to Runaway Bay. Other tasks included making sure there was
catering at all Centres, transport to Centres, arranging
practice courts prior to the tournament and daily recording of
scores.
She has been a successful Tournament Director of Queensland
Vets Tennis Championships from 1996 to 2004 and has been
instrumental in increasing participation at this tournament.
Her knowledge of the players and also her expertise in using
the CAT programme for tournaments is undoubtedly the reason
she is regarded as a very efficient Tournament Director.
Gail has travelled overseas many times with husband, Max,
who has represented Australia at World Veterans events for
many years. She has gained more knowledge of tournament
administration on these trips and this has proved to be of
great value to Tennis Veterans Queensland.
It is very fitting that Gail should have received this
award from Tennis Queensland for her tireless efforts as an
administrator and promoter of tennis in Queensland.
