CAMPBELTOWN Lawn Tennis Club (CLTC) has something to make a racquet about. At the end of last year’s outdoor sea- son CLTC’s ramshackle pavilion, built in the 1950s, was demolished and during the winter a replacement costing about £66,000 has sprung up. Initially Sportscotland turned down CLTC’s bid for funding but a revised bid gained £23,000.
Tennis Scotland added £20,000, Tesco Bags of Help £8,000 and further money came from Springbank and MACC.
A CLTC spokesperson said: ‘Things were going well until it was discovered the old clubhouse had no solid foundations, so work was delayed while new plans were drawn up and quotes received.’
