A new net has been purchased – the old net will be mended to leave up over winter. M M-G will supply a measuring stick. A new bench has been locked to the fencing and a notice, donated by Bowber Head, has been attached at the entrance to the courts.
The Black Swan continue to support the club and the council have repaired the hut. The clerk to the council, C Elphick, has applied for a grant to build a wall alongside the beck. The club need to fit the gates if they are wanted.  S M-G proposed that we do so. They will have a notice on them to read, “Scandal Beck Green Ravenstonedale Tennis Club”.

Boon Days
Each year, at the start of the season, we have a 'boon day'. A 'boon day' is a day when people get together to help out on a project, in this case to clean up the tennis court. We also hold the Tennis Club AGM each boon day. Boon Day 2008 is on Saturday April 26th.

50th Anniversary
On a warm and sunny Saturday afternoon (July 5th 2003) the tournament held by the tennis club to celebrate their 50th anniversary was an event enjoyed by all as these pictures show. An effort was made to invite founder members of the club. More pictures.

Renovation
The court was competely renovated in August 2005.

Tennis Champ
On the occasion of the twins christening Clive presented Stan with a 'Tennis Champ' trophy, to be competed for between them, as and whenever they are on the court. Clive's intention was that the cup would only be loaned to Stan for a short time. However it has largely remained in Stan's trophy cabinet ever since. Meanwhile the twins are growing up and have more chance of nicking the trophy than Clive.
