Festival of Tennis at Merchiston Tennis Club


Merchiston Tennis Club is holding a Festival of Tennis for the local community on Sunday, 1 September, 10am to 4pm and would love your support. 
Anna, Orla and Torrin have teamed up with the Club to raise money for our partners in Malawi. They are visiting in October and looking forward to learning about all their good work when they get there.

So if you fancy trying your hand at a bit of tennis - or better still, watching those who do while enjoying a burger, some home-baking and lollies and a dabble on the tombola, pop round to the tennis courts in the dogleg of Polwarth Terrace, just off Polwarth Gardens, here.

If you'd like to play, please contact the club directly through the Merchiston LTC website.

And if you'd like to volunteer any home-baking, items for the tombola, home-grown plants and jams - really anything at all, please get in touch here or just drop them off on the day! We'd love to hear from you!

And if you are planning on coming and have some old tennis shoes in reasonably good condition, please bring them with you. We'll take them out to Malawi for the netball team.

Thank you for your kind message I'm always grateful to hear from you 😊   We are all doing just fine And our school garden has just begun.We have planted some maize as we are in rain season.  Many thanks to GWC for the support 🙏 May God bless you all 🙌 .  We managed to purchase a tank and pump and installation is in process. We hope to make it ready by the end of the rain season.  I have just realized that a fence wire is also needed in order to protect our pipes from being vandalized and our plants from being damaged by cows, goats and chickens.
