I have been a member of Wanless for about 20 years now. I was on the executive for about 8 years already. I was the Social Director for a few years; the Secretary for a year; as well as the Club President for a year in 2005. Now that I am only working intermittently, I am spending more and more time on the courts. It felt like the right time to step up again and help out on the board. I am looking forward to guiding the Club forward with a team of eager new volunteers. I would like to thank the present board for their ongoing work – Shirley Margolis, David Oliver, Brian Campbell, Joyce Lee-Assang, and Ian Marcus. I would also like to send a particular HUGE thank you out to Alan Maguire for his tireless years of dedication to the Club and the Board. Looking forward to seeing you all at the AGM and on the courts – before the snow flies!
I have been a member of Wanless Tennis for approximately 15 years and I have been on the Executive for the past couple of years first as Secretary and then as Director of Membership and Communications. My family and I are actively involved in the Club through House League, teams, socials and programs. I am excited about the opportunity of working under Anne Fairlie’s leadership and striving to have Wanless Tennis continue to grow as an important part of the neighbourhood’s community life. Looking forward to seeing you at the AGM!
I have been a member of Wanless Park Tennis Club for approx. 3 three years now. I am currently employed as a senior executive of a large technology company and have previously sat on other charitable boards as well, to which I found to be very rewarding experience. I am hopeful that I can leverage my experiences to assist the board in their mandates. I look forward to serving the board / community and contributing to another successful year!

Our interclub teams did quite well this year. We have 4 women’s teams and one men’s team. One of the women’s day teams and one of the evening women’s teams won their divisions so both are moving up a level. Our 2nd women’s evening team came in a close 2nd so fingers crossed for them […]

Good Day Tennis Lovers! My name is Anne Fairlie and I am the “returning” President for Wanless in place for the next 2 years. I say “returning” as many of you may not know I was President for the 2005 season. That was the first year the City imposed an actual TENNIS PERMIT contract that […]
