Lodged by Tess White Standard Motion 32 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Montrose Tennis Club on the centenary of its tennis courts and pavilion; recognises the club’s proud history of promoting tennis across the Montrose community, dating back to 1883, with 2025 marking 100 years since the tennis courts and pavilion opened as Dorward Place Tennis Courts, but which are now known as Montrose Tennis Club; notes that Sir James Howard Warrack KBE, born in Montrose, gifted £500 towards the creation of the tennis courts and a further £250 before they opened to the general public, with the pavilion being named in his honour; acknowledges that volunteer-led Montrose Tennis Club planned a summer of celebrations for members and the wider community, which encouraged participation across all ages and abilities; further acknowledges the dedication of its members, volunteers and coaches, who have ensured the sustained growth of the club over the decades, and wishes Montrose Tennis Club continued success for the next century and beyond.
