Recruitment Drive 2022/23

10:49  10:54

Dear Members,

The committee is now focused on recruiting new members to our club and we would like to double our current membership. The best way to achieve that goal is to invite all of our members to sign up a family member, friend, work mate or school friend to our club. And for a limited time we are waiving the joining fee.

In 2023 we are celebrating 60 years at Sassella Park, and we want to see as many members and new members on the courts enjoying our great game of tennis!

As an incentive, we will be offering 12 months family membership of our club via a draw to be held at the club at the end of this year. All members who sign up a new member will receive one (1) entry into the draw for every new member they sign up*. The more members you sign, the more entries into the draw you will receive.  

If all our members sign just one new member, then we can achieve our goal of doubling our membership by the end of this year, which will provide additional funding to develope our tennis facilities at Sassella Park. Club membership application forms can be found on our website.

We look forward to seeing you all on the courts very soon!

Take care!

The Committee,
Deer Park Tennis Club Inc.
