A centenarian who was instrumental in saving Campbeltown Lawn Tennis Club (CLTC) in 1945 cut a ribbon to declare its new pavilion formally open.
Last Sunday, on the eve of this year’s Wimbledon championships, CLTC secretary Catherine Dobbie welcomed Ailsa Stewart, who first played tennis in India during the 1920s before moving to the UK, aged 16, in 1930.
