The club, based at Chapland Road in Lanark, is preparing to welcome teams from across the region for competitive inter-club matches which Lanark have not been part of since the early 2000s.

Lanark Tennis Club committee member Theo Philip said: “This is a great achievement for the club which has been working extremely hard over recent years to grow its membership, improve its coaching offering and raise funds for a much-needed new clubhouse.
