The committee recently received the fantastic news that we have been given a National Lottery award from The National Lottery Community Fund. The Club has received £1000 to go towards the purchase of a ball machine. Many thanks have to go to Erin Kerr and Dorothy McDonald who successfully made the application on the Club's behalf. "This will be a great resource for club members to have access to and should benefit everyone whatever level of tennis they play", said Erin. It will take a few weeks to get the machine ready to use and to ensure that training is available for those that want to use it. Dorothy will undertake to keep members updated on progress. "This new machine is a bonus for us and we know members will be keen to give it a try but we need to make sure everyone can use it safely" she said.
This award made this purchase and its ongoing benefits possible and everyone at Busby wants to pass on our thanks to the Fund. The National Lottery Community Fund, Scotland Chair, Kate Still: said:"In these unprecedented times, it’s heartening to see the way Scottish communities are coming together to provide each other with support. I would like to congratulate Busby Lawn Tennis Club on their award which is testament to the incredible efforts of their volunteers and members. National Lottery players can be proud to know that the money they raise is making such a difference.”
