New Club Shirts.

When you join for this season you will be offered the Club Tennis Shirt for a subsidised price of $30. It is optional but it would be great if adults, students and juniors wear the shirt to play. Club shirts in tennis offer a polished, uniform appearance and identity on the court.

It is a dark Blue Razor Polo shirt with the Club logo and the Visique Optometrists logo, who are sponsoring it, on the front. If you have already joined or want more than one please visit Membership to order and pay by credit card.

ONCE YOU HAVE PAID PLEASE EMAIL THE CLUB YOUR NAME & SIZE SELECTION USING THE 1/2 CHEST SIZE CHART BELOW.

Peter E will collect the orders and when there is enough he will place an supplier order. Collection date therefore TBC.

For an accurate half chest measurement the wearer is advised to lay a favourite fitting polo flat and measure between the underarm seams (2cm down from the arm holes) to get their half chest measurement.  Otherwise Biz Collection polos are fairly true to kiwi sizing so if they are normally a size XL then they would be an XL – upsize for a more relaxed fit.
