FW: Highland Club Tennis court

I thought as an owner of one of the Old School apartments this might be of interest to our friends and neighbours at the abbey who seem to be getting more and more used to seeing strangers wandering all around the abbey grounds. So thank you Caroline for sending out the circular below to members of Fort Augustus Business Initiative pointing out that the abbey grounds are privately owned and not an extension of the village of Fort Augustus.

Hi,

I have just received a call from the Abbey, who are experiencing irate residents because they notice that non residents are using their tennis court. Apparently, it has been indicated from the Fort Augustus Tennis Club that it is acceptable for the community of Fort Augustus & its visitors to access & use the Abbey Court.

I would like to speak on behalf of the Club & stamp out such notion because although we have had previous authorisation to use the Abbey court, whilst the community one was being resurfaced & upgraded, we have certainly not made it common knowledge that the Abbey court is for use if the Fort Augustus Tennis Club Court is occupied. Why would we offer visitors or the community to use the Abbey court when we have just spent a huge amount of time & effort upgrading the one at Bunoich Brae?

Use the Abbey court at your own risk – we at the Fort Augustus Tennis Court certainly do not condone it!

On the other hand, if anyone is interested in membership of the brand new court – let me know – thanks,

Caroline
