NEW LIGHTS CEREMONY

"Lets Get Lit"

Friday 27th September 2024

Please join us for what will be a very special and memorable evening for PLTC. 

With a few years of planning and hard work by a great team, we're finally ready to commission the new LED lights. Join us for the official “Switch On” celebrations and a night of fun and frivolity!

Incredibly, we have funded this enormous project solely from grants, fundraising and generous donations from members, large and small, and two absolutely amazing major bequests.

A very special mention to the main donors:

Peter Wilson and Jeff  Cox

We salute you.

Further information regarding PLTC Bequest for Members

Thanks to those who expressed an interest in the information around Bequests from last week. We hope this will help in ensuring the robust process the committee has put around any bequest that may be received. Members can feel confident in the steps the committee and subcommittee will take to ensure due diligence is done.  

For those interested, please visit the Website > About Us > Documents ( Bequest Information) to gain further detail.
 

Bequest Information for Members

Over the past 12 months, we have received enquiries from people wanting to know how to leave bequests to PLTC. The Committee have formalised a document with information that any member can access via our website.

PLTC is very grateful to those donors who have remembered our tennis club previously in their estate planning. This has allowed for many projects, making PLTC the incredibly special tennis club it is today. Bequests contribute significantly to the long-term planning and financial well-being and help us ensure success moving forward.  This can be discussed with your lawyer so the appropriate clauses can be inserted into your will. 

 

If you would like more information about Bequests- please contact the Club manager: manager@pltc.co.nz
