The popularity of our new tiger turf courts has prompted the club to look at proactive fundraising activities with the goal of raising a further £5,000 over the next six months to allow us to replace courts 3 and 4 in the same way this autumn.
The newly formed social and fundraising subcommittee have taken on this challenge and are working on a series of activities and events that are intended to be social, fun and importantly help us to achieve this target.
We hope that this is something that all club members will support and that there is something in the following list for everyone. We are also open to other suggestions and ideas!

Ongoing Fundraisers
RTC Lottery
The RTC Lottery is drawn every month. 50% of the funds are distributed as cash prizes and the other 50% goes directly towards our tiger turf fund.
Participation costs £5.00 per month payable annually in advance. Open to family and friends and new participants for this year are able to join until September 2023. Please sign up using the link below if you would like to take part and message Lucinda on 07949 701388 who will confirm the amount due and your lucky number. RTC Lottery Application 23/24 (google.com)
Rounding up your tab
Over the course of the year there will be a variety of occasions when we are chipping in to pay for tournaments, match teas etc at rates that simply recoup costs. If those who feel able could consider rounding up or adding an optional donation here and there to the club account, this would soon add up and help us achieve our target.
