John Jasper tournament

Many thanks to Rosemary Price for organising this memorial event. We raised a total of about £160 which was handed over to Jean. She successfully completed her charity cycle run in Canada shortly afterwards –well done!

There was a healthy turnout from both Scone and Kinnoull tennis clubs and the eventual winners were Alan Davies and Rosemary Price, from Scone.

Midlands Results J

Congratulations to the Ladies 2^nd team who ran away with the Div 5 title to gain promotion. Also to our junior team who did likewise in Div 3. Very well done to you both! The Men’s’ team also did well to gain promotion back up to Div 2 by finishing in r/up spot and the Ladies 1^st team had a successful season finishing 3^rd in Div 1.

It is our ambition to put in another mens team next season if the demand is there.

Club Website

Donald Stewart and friends have done a fantastic job in developing a club website. We are the third club in the area to have a website. Please visit www.sconetennisclub.com

New Courts

The applications for new court funding are ready to go once we get the necessary local planning permission. Our application will be seeking courts similar to Methven’s. More details will be released at that stage.

Junior Club

Douglas Gibson has been working with the juniors on Friday evenings from 6pm with some assistance from club members. It is hoped to continue this good work with more parental involvement and also keeping the classes going during the summer holidays.

Fiona Bruce is to organise club competitions for the juniors and will be in touch with you!

Our club coach Jaki Stewart is running a week of kids’ summer coaching from 16th July and the 30th July. Sessions are potentially all day from 9am until 3.30pm for 5-14 year olds. Morning sessions for new players/beginners and the afternoon is for beginners/intermediates’. Tel 07763023931

Sunday Social Tennis & future events

Many thanks to Linda Browne for organising the Sunday Social tennis events. Sadly her talents do not extend to controlling the rain However Linda has kindly agreed to organise another one for Sunday 22nd July. Get in touch with Linda if you can make it. Tel 552998 or lbrowne@pkc.gov.uk

It is also the Club’s 75th anniversary – get polishing your diamonds girls (and guys)! We will have more information about an event – possibly linked in to the club presentation dinner which is likely to be on Friday 26th October. More information later.

Friday evening club night continues throughout the summer from 7.30pm onwards.

Please also note that our AGM will be held on Sunday 28th October at 2pm

50/50 draw

Thanks to those of you who have taken part in this scheme. There are currently 18 members and there is ALWAYS room for more so please get in touch with me to join.

The June prize winners were Fiona Bruce with £9 and Rosemary with £5. July’s prizes will go up to £10 and £8 at least.

Already we can potentially pay for next season’s tennis balls with the money raised.

Club Shirts

I am going to look at web sites that can offer us good deals on club shirts. When we get new courts- got to be positive- it will be great to have new club shirts to go with the opening. Will keep you posted. If you have any connections let me know as well.

Club Key

For those full adult members who wish a key for the clubhouse please get in touch with me to arrange delivery of one for £3.
