2015 Nationals Team
From our President!
Glenn Sheldon
I find myself saying this again, Victoria has had a great year.
Records getting broken and everybody on the improve, but most of all we have a
fantastic group of people.
Tournaments all run extremely well, Victorian Titles at La Trobe with the Hot Tub
made for a great event setting a precedent for all clubs to follow...We wish.
Team spirit is at an all time high, thanks to the leadership of Dave Ryan and our two
great team Captains, Lee Martin and Anthea Collicoat making Nationals a
fantastic time for all, whether it was your first time or one of many.
Victorian Presentation night was one to remember, lots of fun was had by all. Keep
an eye out for Lee Martin making an appearance on the Voice and Leanne
Collicoat on Dancing with the stars ;-)
Putting Victoria on Top was announced, this is the next step for Victoria and I can
see some exciting times ahead with Jorden Christie at the helm. Congratulations to
all who were awarded their trophies on the night and especially well done to Jack
Christie topping of a great year with the Skier of the Year Award.
This year along with the Name Change to Tournament Water Ski Victoria a new
Web site has been put in place and a special thanks must go to Mark Macdonald
for getting this up and going, check it out , www.twsv.com.au
A Special Thank you must go to our Committee because without them behind the
scenes Tournament Water Skiing in Victoria would fall apart and a special thank you
needs to go to Josie Christie who without the committee would not work so
efficiently.
So now it’s your turn to help.
TOURNAMENT WATER SKI VICTORIA
NEEDS YOU!!!
SO GET INVOLVED .
Help us put Victoria on top and come along to the AGM, let us know what you
want and maybe even join your Committee.
See you there,
it’s been a great year.
