A Message from WBSN Inc.

It is with great sadness that we share that Tammy Lindrum has made the difficult decision to step down as President of the Women's Billiards and Snooker Network following the conclusion of the WBSN $20,000 Women's Snooker Tournament.

This decision has been made due to significant personal circumstances that require Tammy's full attention. While we are saddened by her decision, we completely understand and respect it.

Tammy has been instrumental in establishing WBSN and has dedicated an extraordinary amount of time, energy and passion to creating opportunities for women in cue sports. Her commitment has helped lay the foundations for an organisation that will continue to grow and support women across Australia for many years to come.

On behalf of the WBSN committee, members and the wider cue sports community, we sincerely thank Tammy for her leadership, generosity and unwavering dedication. We wish her nothing but the very best as she focuses on the road ahead.

Below is a personal message from Tammy to our members and the wider cue sports community.

Letter of Resignation

Date: 28 July 2026

To: The Board of Directors and Members of the Women's Billiards and Snooker Network

Subject: Resignation from the Position of President

Dear Board Members and Network Community,

Please accept this letter as formal notification that I will be stepping down from my position as President of the Women's Billiards and Snooker Network, effective immediately following the conclusion of the WBSN Snooker Tournament in August 2026.

It is with profound regret and anger that I must share the reasons compelling my departure. I have recently fallen victim to a highly sophisticated and elaborate financial scam orchestrated by individuals operating Capital Guard AU Pty Ltd. This fraudulent scheme has resulted in the devastating loss of a significant sum of my personal life savings. 

Public company records and my own documentation tie several individuals to the management and operation of this scheme. I am choosing to name them here to warn our community and hold them publicly accountable. The individuals operating Capital Guard include Vassos Dimitriou (an Australian citizen residing in Dubai and Cyprus), Mark Edley, and Eva Smith. Furthermore, company documents in my possession bear the name of Mark Tasiyan of Melbourne, who, despite his name appearing on these official documents, maintains his innocence. 

Due to the severe financial damage inflicted by these individuals and Capital Guard, I am no longer in a position to financially support or sponsor cue sports as I have proudly done in the past. After the August tournament concludes, my immediate focus must entirely shift toward cooperating with the authorities, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and the court-appointed liquidators at McGrathNicol to seek justice and recover what I can. 

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I have had to serve the Women's Billiards and Snooker Network. I look forward to supporting our players through the upcoming tournament in August before handing over my responsibilities. I wish the network and its members nothing but the absolute best moving forward.

I am grateful to have been associated with Billiards and Snooker and to have upheld the name of Lindrum for as long as I could.

Sincerely,

Tammy Lindrum
