The venue had undergone major redevelopment to install an articificial surface on their courts
Airdrie ’s Springwells Tennis Club hope their new £46k artificial surface is a “game-changer” and will see memberships soar, because they offer year-round play.
President John Mitchell says the club are hoping to create more of a community feel, and welcome anybody with an interest in playing tennis. “The balls will get heavier, picking up water off the surface, but what happens with the porous Macadam is that when it rains, you can’t play at all, because the surface is slippy. After a heavy shower, if the surface is wet, you still can’t play.
John says they’re looking to increase their membership, but even as the only tennis club in the area, offer a lot to players.
