MLTC NEWSLETTER 10th July 2025
Dear Members,
I wish to remind you that an information meeting regarding the courts replacement project is being held in the Clubhouse on Tuesday, July 15th at 7.30 pm. Since the email sent on the 10th June informing you of the Courts Replacement Presentation on our web page the Executive Committee have received queries from some of our members. In this regard, please note that we have added a Questions and Answers document to the members section of the MLTC website which we hope will address most of these queries.
I cannot emphasise enough the amount of hard work the Subcommittee have put into making their recommendation, furthermore they have engaged Alex Watt (Head Coach, Malahide LTC) to speak to us at the meeting regarding the Malahide members experience of the artificial clay surface. I would ask as many of you as possible to try and attend this meeting so that you can be reassured that selecting the Artificial Clay Court (Advantage Clay) is the best decision for the future of the Club.
Regards, Richard
Richard Keevey
President MLTC
