Court Rejuvenation – after the rain
After heavy rain during the night and this morning, there are no puddles on the courts. Looks like rejuvenation has done the job!
We just need the sand to bed in now, then the courts will be ready for the winter ahead.
Court Rejuvenation – day 4
Most of the old sand has been removed leaving lovely clean courts. Now for the new sand!
Court Rejuvenation Mon 18 – Fri 22 September
After successfully rejuvenating a single service box of court 4 which drained beautifully after heavy rain last Wednesday, Ecosse Sports have begun to rejuvenate the complete tennis surface this week. This involves removing all the sand, brushing up the surface matting, replacing with new, clean sand and brushing in.
This work should be finished by the end of Friday this week (subject to weather). Hopefully we will be left with courts which drain well following rain, ready for the winter season ahead.
Coaching Starts Friday 18th August

SPECIAL MEMBERS MEETING – Friday 26th August – 7pm in the clubhouse
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
