Fundraising

We have had a brilliant response from members in the past to special tennis events to raise funds for specific things that have helped develop the club eg the 'lawnmower' open. Please mark below the three things you would most like to put on a 'wish list' to fundraise money to buy or do.
Security lighting for outside the clubhouse

Wheelbarrows /spades /rakes

Umpires Chairs

On court scoring units for league matches / tournaments    

Line marking device

Court cleaning equipment eg  new large brooms,plastic snow shovels, another leaf blower device

Heavy duty long arm loppers
Volunteers

We are soon to receive some free decking from a contact from within the Rugby Club and will probably arrange a 'decking' weekend (similar to previous 'groundforce' days or 'working party weekend' ) to get it installed and at the same do some much needed work on the grounds. We do have a one or two 'handy' guys (and girls) to help us but please indicate below what, if you would be prepared to help with to improve and maintain the club either on the aforementioned day(s) or during the season
please tick the box
