Sports Club News
The big news, of course, is the re-laying of the Tennis Courts. The tennis courts are being re-surfaced and this is now starting on Monday 30th November (updated) and is scheduled to take up to 3 weeks and so will be ready for Christmas.

That is after the recent news about the required £80,000 finally being raised to carry out the re-surfacing of the courts. Thank you's to all funders, Holywood Trust, ANCBC, SWEAT, Dumfries Sports Club and all who donated via the Tennis GoFundMe page.
