INDUSTRY SUPPORTER BASE MEMBERSHIPS 2016
GRASS ROOT SUPPORTERS. Surfing Tasmania is keen to develop an industry support base for our sport from the coming season, 2016. We are asking you as businesses involved in supplying surf related goods and services, whether as local board shapers, surf shops, wholesalers, national companies, petrol stations, restaurants or any business who enjoys /supports the lifestyle of surfing in Tasmania to consider this opportunity. We want to enhance your business opportunities and profit whilst letting the surfing community know you are right behind them. WHY DO WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT? Surfing nationally has enjoyed huge growth during the past decade. Over the past 5 years Surfing Tasmania has outgrown it s old operational models and is now a 12 months a year operation (check our Facebook and website or E-newsletters). Our relationships with Surfing Australia, Australian and State Governments and funding agencies require a professional approach to function and support the various factions to achieve our strategic goals. Surfing Tasmania needs to have sound financial base to run events, manage state-wide coaching programs, support state teams, to develop new programmes and fund its administrative costs. We also need to represent the thousands of other surfers in the state in protecting access to our beaches and the pleasures of our unique surfing environment. Surfing Tasmania would like continuity of support from a local base and intends to encourage a two way community of surfers and supporters. We ask you to take a few minutes and check our Facebook page which we use like a weekly newspaper, and our NEW website to familiarize yourself with our business. www.facebook.com/pages/surfing-tasmania/209958405706317?ref_type=bookmark https://www.surfingaustralia.com/states/tas I look forward to speaking with you over the next few months.
