CRIEFF HYDRO TENNIS CLUB JOIN CLUBMARK ELITE

16th November 2009

Crieff Hydro Tennis Club have become the latest club in Scotland to reach the standard required to achieve Tennis Clubmark.

It was just over a year ago when Crieff Hydro Tennis Club affiliated to Tennis Scotland and Tennis Tayside.  It is probably the only club in the land without a clubhouse, but their members use the changing facilities at the Crieff Hydro Hotel, as the club is situated within the Victorian grounds of the 213 bedroom hotel.

As Ken Campbell, the club's secretary said, "Although we don't have a club house, we do have the biggest changing facilities of all."

Since affiliating, Crieff has been involved in the Road to Wimbledon event, competed in the local district leagues and boasted 6 kids in reaching the finals of the recent Central Mini Tour, staged at Gannochy, Stirling.

The club's resident coach, Louise Braidwood, organises a junior tennis programme throughout the year, along with hosting mini tennis festivals. The evidence of the club's hard work is illustrated by the large junior membership, being in excess of 130 budding young stars and still growing.

The Clubmark accreditation was vitally important to the club and part of their documentation included an excerpt of the committee minutes, dated Wednesday 9th March 1910, when the club was officially founded.
