🙋🏽‍♀️Volunteers Needed for Junior Events 🙋🏻‍♂️
We would love your help to make our social and tennis events a success!
With so many juniors at the club, we want to ensure they have the best experience and feel fully engaged with their membership.
If you're willing to join our panel of volunteers, your support would allow us to organise more events that bring juniors together in a fun, social or tennis-focused atmosphere. Your participation can make a big difference in helping them connect, improve, and enjoy all the club has to offer!

Please email [email protected] with your level of interest and availability. If you have a preferred age group or type of event you’d like to help with, feel free to include that as well.
Thank you for considering, and we look forward to planning for 2024.
Warm regards,
Stephen
