Dear Members

We would like to invite you to a member’s meeting to be held in the club house on Friday 26th August at 7pm. This meeting has two purposes. Firstly to help us complete the process of becoming an incorporated charity and secondly to consult with members on the proposed clubhouse renovations.

The Committee has decided it is in the best interests of the club to apply to the Office of Scottish Charities Regulator (‘OSCR’) for a change of legal status from an unincorporated charity to an incorporated charity. This has the effect of creating a legal personality for Kinnoull Tennis Club, so all of the Club’s assets can be held directly in its name and also limits the personal liability of Trustees and Members.

One of the key requirements for lodging a successful application for a change status, is to draft a new constitution, which complies with OSCR’s requirements for incorporated charities. OSCR publish a template constitution document to help charities with this task. The Committee has now approved a new draft constitution SCIO Kinnoull Tennis Club constitution based on that template, for wider approval by Members. If anyone has any questions about the content of the Constitution ahead of the meeting please email

In order to agree the new constitution we require a minimum of ten members present at the meeting. To ensure this please would you be kind enough to email if you intend to come.

Plans for the clubhouse upgrade are progressing well. We are drawing up plans and consulting with local building companies. We would love to hear your views and welcome any input our members would like to make to this exciting venture.

Kind regards

Laura Jarvis
Secretary Kinnoull Tennis Club (registered scottish charity SCO45289)
