2024: Dermot Regan
Dermot steered the Tennis Section through the difficult Covid years, helping the committee manage the comms, the changes, and the restrictions whilst optimising members' use of the facilities. He managed the transiation from an incumbent Head Coach through recruitment, selection and onboarding of a new one. He was the driving force behind the fundraising campaign of 2023, engaging with and encouraging members to get involved, and participating in all of the activities.

Geoff has been a member of Brooklands Sports Club for over 35 years. He has been the driving force behind the squash section for a number of years now, developing a 10 year plan, running squash ladders and tournaments, and has successfully established and grown the new junior section. Very involved in the Open Day in 2022, Geoff also works hard to encourage others within the club to have a go at squash. He is President of the North West Counties Squash League as well as playing for both Brooklands and in England Squash masters events around the country. Known for his sense of humour, he writes hilarious match reports, always has an amusing story to tell and a magic trick up his sleeve.
