COURTS

The Tennis
Courts are now closed for the season. It's been great
that the Courts have been open until now.
Some of the
Tennis Ladies have been along the past few days removing
the nets & preparing the courts for the close season.
We look
forward to our 2024 season for both bowling & tennis.

The Meg Henry Tennis Tournament was
held on Saturday 22 July. This is only the third year of
the tournament, as we missed 2020 & 21 due to COVID.
Meg's
family were out in force, with son Graeme & grandson
Innes taking part this year too. They were even dressed
for the occasion in their 'Meg/Granny Tee Shirts'. I'm
sure Meg would have approved.
There
were 18 entrants from IBTC, Castle Tennis Club and
visiting family members. 3 rounds of tennis were played
followed by afternoon tea before the semis & final.
Congratulations
to the winners, Liz Gower and Stuart Adams & the
runners up Helen Waddell and Jaroslaw Michalak.
A
good fun afternoon with lots of folk watching and thanks
to everyone for organising & running the event &
providing goodies for the afternoon tea.
A
nice way to remember Meg!

MID-SEASON UPDATE
The
tennis season is well underway with the club
championships now drawn and games to be played posted in
the tennis pavilion. This competition continues over the
summer. The Meg Henry trophy, open to all locals, will
take place on Saturday, 22 July, meeting at 1.30 for a
2pm start. Afternoon tea contributions from club members
will be gratefully received.
Unfortunately,
it has not been possible to organise junior tennis
activities this year, though junior members are welcome
to use the courts at any time. Those under 11 should be
accompanied by an adult member.
New
members are always welcome - please see the club's home
page for details how to join. Here's hoping for some good
weather in July and August!

NEWS
Last
year's (2022) tennis season was an enjoyable and friendly
one. We welcomed some new members, of differing ages,
which was grand. As usual, the members helped to maintain
the blaes courts, fundraise for new fencing and equipment
and assist new members with any help required.
We
had a very positive link up with staff from 'Active
Schools' in Dunoon who led some sessions for primary aged
school children. These were designed to foster skills for
playing tennis e.g. hand-to-eye coordination and balance
exercises. These were great fun and the children really
enjoyed them. We were also given helpful input from
'Tennis Scotland'. We are still looking into the
possibility of offering support for Junior Tennis Members
for this season. Further information will be given if
this can take place.
Throughout
the summer we held our regular informal tournaments
The Meg Henry Rosebowl, the Drummond Trophy and
the Ladies' Singles and Doubles tournaments. These were
all played with good humour and fun. We also held an Open
Day (along with the Bowling Section) to encourage more
involvement with the local community. This was enjoyed by
all. We had beautiful weather, lots of visitors and
members playing, and ended the day with a splendid
afternoon tea and a raffle. These events will, hopefully,
be taking place this year. The dates will be available
soon.
To
conclude, a reminder that the blaes courts are open at
all times. (An info sheet re membership fees and charges
for visitors is visible beside the tennis pavilion door.
These fees obviously go towards keeping the Club
functioning.)
A 'WhatsApp' group is also available for tennis members
to arrange practice matches and pass on any tennis news.
Needless to say, we are looking forward to another dry
(!) enjoyable and successful season in 2023.
