Our executive committee are elected every year at the AGM, however, if you would like to be involved in other ways we are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help out.
Chairman
Neil McArthur
Neil has been an avid tennis player and father to a spiritied child, who occasionally supports at sessions.
Neil joined Northern Aces after lockdown as a total beginner, and has enjoyed playing ever since, both socially and competitively.
"I have found Northern Aces to be a safe space and a supportive environment, where I feel a sense of belonging. It has been a great source of friendship and I have made lasting connections."
Treasurer
Andy Aldridge
A member since 2021, Andy joined Northern Aces to get back into tennis after a long break. Responsible for branding, website design and social media, Andy is just as passionate off court as he is on court.
"Northern Aces has helped me get back into tennis after a near 10 year break, and I'm fitter and happier for it. My only regret is not joining sooner! I have made amazing friends and even met my partner at Northern Aces."
