Clubhouse Repairs

2011-05-18T17:57:00.001+01:00

Members will be wondering why the club house repairs are taking so long following the burst water pipe and damage caused over the winter. Repair works had started but were subsequently stopped when it was realised the opportunity was being missed to make some improvements. Our insurance company has been contacted again and an agreement has been reached in which the club will contribute to an element of improvement work. Overall we will get a much better facility. Work has now recommenced and is well underway.

Apologies for the inconvenience this is causing to members, guest and visiting teams.

Business As Usual at the Tennis Club

2008-09-13T09:22:00.000+01:00

With all the negotiations about the future of the club now settled and the lease renewed it has been great to be able to concentrate on the usual business of the tennis club.

The junior coaching programme resumed in the spring and again has been very successful and well attended. No Andy Murray clones emerging just yet, but we live in hope.

The Gents’ team finished their season on a high note with a fine win away to Linlithgow II securing their place in the Central and District 1st Division for another season. Unlike some previous seasons in the top flight, all matches have been keenly contested this year. This has been due to the strong pool of players that the team can now call upon. It has been particularly encouraging to be able to introduce one of our junior members, Cameron Nicol, to the Gents’ first team. Cameron played very well and held his place on merit, and it has been excellent to see his game improve as the season has gone on. Hopefully we will be able to include Cameron in the team for quite a number of seasons to come. On the downside we still have not been able to commit to fielding a 2nd team. This is something we continue to aspire to.

The Ladies team have had a mixed season. The results have been varied with only one win and three draws at time of writing, with two re-arranged matches still to play. Whether or not we manage to stay in the second division will depend upon the results of these two matches, so it is all to play for. Despite entering only one team in the leagues (instead of our usual two) there have been weeks when we have struggled for players. Those who have played have done so with commitment and enthusiasm, and the team spirit has been great with the emphasis being upon enjoying the games. While some of the team have played together for a few seasons the Ladies have also enjoyed getting to know those who have chosen to play for the team for the first time this year. New team players, whether it be from existing or new club members, will be very welcome. Don’t be shy – let us know if you want to play.

On the social side, the club has organised a number of open afternoons throughout the season. However, it has been a bit disappointing that numbers haven’t been better. These afternoons have been enjoyed by those who have attended and we would encourage everyone to come along. New members and existing will be made most welcome.
