March Newsletter 

We are up and running with our tennis season. Welcome to our new members and thank you to all who have renewed your membership. Your support means a lot to us. Thanks to Rob for processing all the information, updating the system and replying to queries. Great work. 

Membership campaign – The committee are always looking at ideas to increase our membership numbers, in particular families and those in the 30 to 50 age group. This year we are promoting a Tennis Taster event on Saturday 21st March from 1pm.  

Please let friends and family know about this event as we are offering an exclusive 20% of membership for new members on the day. Adults and Juniors are very welcome to attend.

We have set up an Instagram account. Search for Banchory Tennis Club and follow us.  

Also we have updated our website and this provides you with all the information you require as a member. Please use this as a point of reference for the club.

Maintenance  

Throughout the year we aim to maintain the courts to a very good standard and we invite members and friends to help support this. We organise workgroups to ensure that the areas around and in the courts are safe and suitable for play.
