The 2023 AGM preceded the Annual BACT Dinner & Awards night on 9 December. Representatives from over half of all 21 BACT affiliated clubs attended the meeting. The incoming 2024 Executive Committee included one more of the younger generation of members, with Cassandra Yap taking on the position of Match Secretary; she replaces the retiring Brideen Allen who had been in the role for five years and a member of the BACT Committee since 2010. All other Executive Committee members were reelected and were also joined by six Associate Members who will play a key role in supporting the Executive
After a hiatus of three years due to COVID restrictions and a lack of suitable and available indoor facilities, the 2023 ACT Open, held at the AIS Basketball Centre over the weekend of 18-19 November 2023, was better than ever. With over 200 players in all four grades (Open to D grade) and with Australia’s No.1 ranked men’s single player (Ricky Tang, NSW) participating, the 2023 ACT Open was an immense success. It was also the first time that BACT was able to offer some prize money for the Open winners. The Open Men’s singles was won by Ricky Tang
In the ACT’s best showing ever, all ACT teams which entered the event won their respective grades. A simply incredible achievement.
