TENNIS CLUB Tennis Section THE MEG HENRY MEMORIAL ROSEBOWL A grand day was had at the Club on Sunday 10th August when a very friendly tournament took place in memory of Meg Henry - a stalwart supporter of the Club. Along with members of Meg's family, there was a mixed group of tennis players from IBTC and Castle Tennis Club. The weather was very kind and the outcome of the day was that honours were shared between IBTC and Castle. Lauren Black (Castle) and Roan Wright (IBTC) being the winning pair and Kat Ross (IBTC) and Jaroslaw Michalak (Castle) being the runners up. Innes (Meg's grandson) presented the Meg Henry Rosebowl to the winners along with a congratulatory tube of tennis balls. All in all, a lovely day! Haste ye Back!
THE MEG HENRY MEMORIAL ROSEBOWL Just a wee minder about Meg's Rosebowl Tournament next Sunday the 10th August (1pm for a 1.30pm start). This is an informal, friendly competition where it's lovely to meet up with folk. We play tennis and enjoy an afternoon tea as well. It would be grand if you could let Elaine Marshall know if you can manage along. If you can come, a wee food contribution to the tea would be greatly appreciated. I'm really hoping the weather smiles kindly on us. Myra TENNIS UPDATE The courts were prepared for the new season by Tennis Members, some volunteers and some Members from the Bowling Section. Grateful thanks to you all! We are also pleased that new fencing was erected by Stuart Gower of Fynewood, Dunoon, which completed the full circumference of the courts, and we are very grateful to him for all his help. The Tennis Pavilion has been made more wind and water tight so can now be safely used. As senior members numbers have been falling, it is good to see that after a leaflet drop was carried out locally, people of all ages have been expressing an interest and joining the club, including a welcome group of junior players. Tennis equipment (racquets, balls, etc) is available for use by members and visitors attending with members, and is stored inside the pavilion. We still offer 'Come and Try' sessions for Bowling & Tennis at mutually convenient times. We do not currently offer formal tennis coaching, but we are actively looking into being able to provide this as an optional paid service. The Tennis WhatsApp group is working well for folks to keep in touch either to pass on info or say when they are able to play. A new update for the club is the Sum-Up machine that is available in the tennis pavilion that allows for card payments from visitors attending with members. Hopefully this will be accessible to all visitors in the near future, after some joinery work. The honesty box for cash is still in use on the pavilion door and accessible without needing a key. We're hoping to organise some informal get togethers and tournaments over the season. It will be good to meet up with new members! Elaine
