Urgent Fundraising for the Frinton-on-Sea Lawn Tennis Club
At the recent AGM the Board explained the financial position of the Club. Whilst there are a range of activations to improve the Club’s financial performance, increase our Membership and continue to keep a close monitoring of all costs, we need to raise funds immediately.
The target for this Phase 1 funding is £40,000. This will give the Club enough breathing space to continue trading and enact the various changes we’re making. Like many Clubs in the area, the past 12 months have been very challenging. And we now look to you for support. There are several ways in which you can.
1. Donations
The Club is a Community Amateur Sporting Club. As such any donations attract Gift Aid. If you wish to make a donation please enquire at the office and sign a Gift Aid form. Email kim@fosltc.com for details.
2. Money on Cards
If you haven’t put money on your card recently, now would be a great time to do so. We’ll be putting 10% as a bonus on any credit above £100.
3. 5 Year Memberships
Membership subscription rates will inevitably rise over the coming years as inflation, rising energy costs and staff costs increase. To beat the rise, why not pre-pay for five years AAA membership for the Club and receive a discount in the process? We will be limiting this to 10 on a first come, first serve basis. Five year’s membership would cost you £4,860 at today’s rates. The offer price is just £4,000 representing a saving of 17.5%
4. 10 Year Memberships
We will only be offering four of these pre-purchase deals. The cost today would be £9,720. The offer price will be £7,500. This represents a saving of 22.5%
5. Life Memberships
The Board will grant up to four Club Life Memberships. At this stage we are targeting juniors where parents or grandparents are already Club Members. If you’re interested in supporting the Club, please get in touch to discuss. Should the offer not be fully subscribed, the Board will also consider approaches from adults. In the first instance please contact Kim@fosltc.com to arrange a meeting.
We have to act fast. We have until December to raise this money to see the Club through to 2025 and beyond. To continue with our programme of change and renewal requires your support and generosity. We hope you’ll work with us to achieve this ambitious but necessary milestone.
