Helensburgh Tennis Club

OUT of hibernation now, the daffodils are starting to sprout and Federer is as inspiring as ever. Please find some time over the next few weeks to complete your league matches in preparation for (a) the last month in the winter box leagues, March, (b) your mens team matches, and (c) the club championships.

Any men who are thinking of team tennis, please attend match training every Sunday between 10am and 12 noon to play some organised doubles ties.

There will be a second round Davis Cup match towards the end of the February, so if you have any interest in this, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with a degree of urgency.

It is the usual format of tennis — mixed doubles of course — for a couple of hours, then food and refreshments. Please bring your own food and refreshments!

Entry costs £2 which will provide appropriate loving prizes for our winners to treasure and put to good use, as they did last year . . .

HELENSBURGH Tennis Club's Hon Treasurer Jim McDowall is a richer man today . . .

Jim was the first name out of the hat in the Club Lottery for 2010, and wins the January cheque for £20.

Unfortunately not as many members as last year took up membership of the Lottery, so organiser Gay Black has had to reduce the monthly prize to £20 — except for December which will remain at £50.

HELENSBURGH Tennis Club has a new coaching administrator.

Lynne Parbrook, from Gareloch Brae, Shandon, is taking over many of the duties formerly undertaken by coaching convener Ann Morison. She previously worked at the Loch Lomond Golf Club at Luss as merchandising manager.
