Thank you to all who have renewed their memberships already this month. For those of you who haven't, remember the cut off for payment is 31st March. Please let us know if you know you are not renewing this year so we can offer your space to someone on the waiting list.
We had an encouraging turn out to an upbeat Tennis AGM last night. Maybe Zoom is the way to go! A few new faces have been added to the committee to spread the load around. We are still short of help with the Junior section. A separate email will be sent to junior parents about this soon.
We'd also like to remind everyone to consider linking to us on Easyfundraising for when you are shopping online. It doesn't cost buyers anything extra, but the club earns a small amount of commission from every purchase from a participating store. It's very easy to do. Just click on this link to register. https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/merchistontennisbowlingclub/
Our 'Club Shop' is now on the Clubspark/MerchistonLTC website where you can buy Merchiston branded sports kit.

The website is in the process of being refreshed & updated for this year so pop in regularly to read the latest news. Today we have posted an invitation to a virtual financial seminar by one of our Corporate Sponsors, Taka Mbedzi. Taka's seminars have been well received in the past. https://clubspark.lta.org.uk/merchistonltc/News
We've also posted a list of 2020 Championship winners to spur people on to enter again this year when entry opens in late spring. Congratulations to all the current champions and those who played well to get to the finals.

Our Facebook page is "under new management" so should hopefully be more productive than it has been lately! Please make sure you link to our page https://www.facebook.com/MerchistonTennisClub
Due to pressures on court time, bookings will be limited to 1hr for the forseeable future.
Lastly, and it's a really, really important one! If you haven't already done so, please remember to consent to communications from us or this may be the last you hear from us until membership renewal next year. The guide to GDPR consents which tells you how to opt in can be found here https://clubspark.lta.org.uk/merchistonltc/TheClub/ClubPolicies
Happy Spring!
