OPEN NIGHTS – JAN/FEB/MAR 2012 – WEDNESDAYS FROM 7:30PM

We need your support to make these successful!

We’re excited to introduce a new concept this year, with Wednesday night social tennis evenings open to club members and the public.  The first one kicks off on Jan 25th, followed by Feb 29th and March 28th.  These evenings will consist of social tennis, free nibbles, open bar (EFTPOS available), spot prizes, onsite coach and demo racquets.

Our aim is to encourage new adult members to the club, so please help us promote this by putting up a flyer at your workplace, local shops, or anywhere else you can think of – print it from our website at http://www.gtc.org.nz/documents/open_night_flyer.pdf

And of course, the more existing members who take part, the more successful the evenings will be.  So come along and bring your friends/family/neighbours/workmates, and work off that Xmas excess with some fun tennis.


CLUB DAYS - 2012

Midweek have already started for 2012 – Thursdays from 9:30am. 

Seniors will restart on Sunday 22nd Jan from 1pm
(NOTE: No club days are scheduled for Anniversary weekend or Waitangi weekend).  Another good reason to support our Wednesday night Open Night on 25th Jan (see above)

Juniors will restart on Saturday 4th Feb from 8am

 

MEMBERS HANDBOOKS – OUT NOW

Our Members Handbooks are filled with useful information about the club, how we operate, and how you can get involved.  It also contains contact numbers for the committee, coaches, club members, Tennis Northern and other clubs.  It’s a handy little reference to throw in your tennis bag, so make sure you pick yours up at the club next time you’re there.

Thanks to the Service Line Pro Shop at Albany for their advertising, and Pauline Jenkins and Alliance Printing for producing the handbooks free of charge.  Please support these businesses if you can.
Also thanks to Liesel Hanson, our administrator, for pulling the book together for us.
