VERNON TENNIS ASSOCIATION holds it’s Annual General Meetings (AGM) in the middle of April of every year.
The VTA does not open for play until after the AGM. Membership Registrations (only on-line) are also not available until after the AGM. VTA memberships are valid from April to April of the next year. The VTA is an out-door, seasonal, public facility serving the Vernon and area communities.
VTA members and anyone interested in tennis are encouraged to attend the AGM. Those wishing to learn or enhance their tennis skills, are invited to let our Board of Directors know the direction they would like to see the VTA go in the future. Your voice is important to us, so please make an effort to attend the AGM if you can. Thank you.
