MERIMBULA TENNIS CLUB (MTC) INFRASTRUCTURE FUND

At present all projects undertaken to modernise and improve the club’s infrastructure and amenities has been mostly funded from MTC funds.  However, the impact of inflation on replacement costs for some of the major infrastructure items (synthetic surfaces, fencing etc.) means that some form of 'future fund' is now required to afford such replacements.  The Club is pursuing funding through various other grant options, but most have a long lead-in time,  are not guaranteed of success, and would likely require a significant co-contribution from the Tennis Club.

Money received via tax deductible donations will allow the club to undertake any urgent repairs to allow the facility to remain a valuable asset for MTC members and the Merimbula community.  Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.

The Committee of the Merimbula Tennis Club would encourage you to consider donating to this fund. See link below.
