Survey from Tennis Ireland
Dear Tennis Friends,
Hope all is well and that you are enjoying being back on court.
We are looking for your input into some tennis related research.
The team at Tennis Ireland has recently learned of a new initiative in the area of sustainability that can potentially be introduced to tennis in Ireland.
As this is such an important issue, we are keen to gain feedback from members of the tennis community. As part of this process, we wish to share a survey with our clubs and to individual email addresses within the Tennis Ireland community so you can give your thoughts and views.
We would very much appreciate hearing what you have to say, so if you are happy to participate, please click the link below which will bring you to the survey. This will take no more than 5 minutes to complete.
Please note that all responses will be completely anonymous – they will be presented only in aggregate and will not be linked with you personally. Please note that you will only be able to complete the survey once per email address but please feel free to forward to any tennis playing friends/colleagues.
Please CLICK HERE to access the survey.
Many thanks in advance for your time.
