It is with a heavy heart that we inform the BDTA tennis community of the passing of BDTA life member Barry Palmer.
Barry passed away peacefully earlier this week after a life of 80+ years.
Barry was the dedicated BDTA Score Secretary for over a decade whereby his attention to detail, communication to clubs and efficient updating of by-laws set a new standard in voluntary sports admin.
Many of the processes we have in place today within the BDTA are thanks to the great work of Barry Palmer.
Barry’s legacy will live on forever within the BDTA through the Barry Palmer trophy that is awarded each season at Presentation Day.
Vale Barry Palmer Rest in Peace
The Berwick and District Tennis Association (BDTA) was formed in 1984 thanks largely to the efforts of our inaugural President and life member, Bills Kucks (deceased), and continues to provide quality tennis competitions to junior tennis players in the City of Casey, Cardinia Shire and surrounding areas.
The purpose of the Association is to promote, encourage, and advance the game of tennis within the Casey & Cardinia regions and support the activities of its members.
We have developed close links with Tennis Victoria and Tennis Australia and work with them to enhance the popularity of tennis. We will continue to support junior tennis development through supplementary pathways and access to coaching programmes.
Our junior competition is very popular and the BDTA not only co-ordinates broad-based inter-club matches but also provides talented juniors several opportunities to represent Berwick & District in Tennis Victoria age-based competitions and events.
