Meet the Management Committee

Devon tennis is supported by volunteer officials who meet regularly and work to deliver the county association's strategies in support of British tennis.


John Allen MBE - Vice Chairman

John's involvement in Tennis began as a junior at Dawlish LTC. He is now a member and former chairman of Woodbury TC. Whilst teaching at Exeter School, John became involved in schools tennis which resulted in his being the chairman of Devon Schools LTA for some years and a member of the Devon LTA Council. John became chairman in 2001 and in 2010 stepped down from the chair but remains Vice Chairman.

John was awarded the MBE in 2007 for his services to the other great sporting passion in his life - sailing and the Sea Scouts.

David Kirkness - LTA Councillor & Performance Chairman

David Vinall - Chairman

David has been involved with tennis in North Devon and the Westward Ho!
