What a great day we had on Saturday 12 April for our 171st Opening Day.

Thankyou to everyone who helped in any way to make it the success it was. All the work was worthwhile & I think the visitors enjoyed it too. It was lovely to see so many kindred clubs members supporting IBTC.

Thanks to Derek Logue for speaking on behalf of kindred Clubs. Derek has supported our wee Club over many years & reminded us that he had spoken in behalf of kindred Clubs in 1995 (yes, 30 years ago). He does still have the newspaper cutting & photo which I'll share when he sends it to me.

It was extra special to welcome our friend & ex President Archie Tait back for a visit. It was like he'd never been away.

Now our Green & Courts are open, please take advantage & introduce a friend or two.

Thankyou to all the members who have been working hard to get the Clubhouse, Grounds & Courts ready for Opening. We have another WORK PARTY this Wednesday (9th APRIL) to ensure we're spick and span and if you haven't managed along, you'll be more than welcome to join us.

AGM UPDATE

We had a great turnout on Sunday 9 February for the AGM.

Welcome to Arthur Condy & Lewis MacDonald who joined our Management Committee.

We were sorry to lose Liz Gower from our Committee but would like to thank her for all her dedication to the Club. We are not losing Liz as member which is the best news.

We have set our 2025 Opening Day as Saturday 12 April at 2pm.
Please diarise this date.

PRESENTATION

All good things come to an end, so they say. But only until April.

The Royal Bar, Innellan hosted our Presentation of Prizes on Wednesday 4 December.

A lovely meal was enjoyed followed by President John Gow speaking to the 2024 season & congratulating the winners & all those who took part.

He also thanked our sponsors, without whom we would struggle & spoke to our camaraderie with kindred Clubs Ardentinny (The Pig) & Dunoon Argyll ( Senior Challenge).
