Manly Lawn Tennis Club Newsletter – 20 August 2024

Membership Renewals 2024/25

The club year finishes on 31st August and since 1st September is a Sunday, this year’s membership renewals will be emailed to all members on Monday 2nd September.
  • If you are not renewing your membership or are changing membership category, please email [email protected] ASAP – but by Friday 30th August at the latest.
Due to the rising costs of running the club, membership fees will increase slightly this year as follows:
  • Full $525
  • Intermediate & midweek $330
  • Junior $185
  • Overseas $240
  • Social $35
We still feel these are great value for a full year of tennis including Club Champs, Badge, great courts, new balls, BBQ’s and social events.

A reminder to all our Badge players on Saturday, it is your responsibility to keep the kitchen tidy put plates away and wipe down your tables before you leave.
