VALE - JAN HARRIS
The Boyup Brook Tennis Club lost one of its valued Life Members, Jan Harris in 2023, and fellow Life Member, Bill Gordon shared a few memories:
“Jan’s great love apart from her family and farm was the Boyup Brook Tennis Club. She loved playing tennis and was a stalwart of the Tennis Club. She served as Secretary for two years shortly after leaving school, and another four years later on, then Ladies Captain in 1985-86. Jan was the first female President in 1994 and was awarded a Life Membership that same year. She coordinated the popular ladies mid-week pennants for 18 years. There were a host of other things Jan did for the Tennis Club, many unnoticed and unsung. Jan hated double faults. Jan’s serve was remembered last week at tennis. Her style could best be described as “stand and deliver”. With her feet firmly planted behind the baseline, the ball was straight up and came down straight at you, flat and firm. And if the first serve did not go in, look out because the second was on its way before the first ball was past you. Jan was nearly always the first to arrive at tennis and she aimed to have the nets up, ready for play, before everyone else got there. Mike Lloyd was a little tacker when his mother was Captain. He recalled how Jan would load the wheelbarrow with twelve nets and Mike had to keep up with her, struggling to push the overloaded barrow, while Jan set up the nets. Jan was never one to miss a busy bee, and would often be found on the courts, screwdriver in hand, digging out winter grass and any other weeds invading the playing surface. Marking out the courts at the start of each season, helping or organising in the kitchen, whatever needed doing Jan was always there.”
Rest in Peace Jan
