Private Events

Thursday 13 December

Air New Zealand has booked two tennis courts and the lounge exclusively from 4pm-7pm.

Friday 14 December

A tournament between agency Spark Activate PR and its client Adidas from 2pm-6pm. They have two tennis courts and David Mustard will facilitate the tournament. If it rains, he may change this to a squash tournament.

Following this is a small work do for club member, Michelle Kong, held in the lounge only from 6pm–10:30pm. There is no exclusivity.

Thursday 20 December

Bayleys will be running their own tournament from 3pm-7pm.

Members are asked to please observe and respect any exclusivity around these private functions.

Last week the club had two private functions. Michelle Kong hosted over 100 guests (adults and children) and Bruce Murtagh held his 50th birthday party here. We had wonderful feedback from both.

The club is a great facility for events such as birthdays and work functions which not only help fund the club from facility hireage but introduce possible new members to the club. To enquire about functions please contact Pia in the club office on 376 0681 or service@hernebayrackets.co.nz

Christmas Function a hit

Two year old Ben Livesay lines up his next killer shot at the Annual Christmas Function on Sunday 2 December. Ben was one of about 50 members and their families who enjoyed a bit of tennis and squash and then a barbecue in the sun.

Thanks to Peta Drayton, David Mustard, Simon Holloway and George Crosby for organising.

Club Management Roles

The committee has created two clearly defined roles - a Club Administrator (to administer the database, accounts, bar etc) and a Club Manager Business Development and Programmes (responsible for growing participation, managing programmes and club professionals and managing new initiatives). While these part-time roles are separate it is possible they may both be filled by one person initially. We want the roles to grow and the separation acknowledges the different skill sets of an administrator vs. business development.
