Background
West Norfolk Lawn Tennis Club (WNLTC) is based in North Runcton, a small village just outside King's Lynn in Norfolk. We are a friendly, welcoming group of players with a reputation for hosting fun tournaments and having great club events on our 3 grass courts and 2 hard courts.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Our two hard courts are in desperate need of resurfacing as they are worn out and at risk of becoming dangerous and unplayable. The surface is breaking up causing very unpredictable bounces and the risk of players falling. These pictures give an indication of the very poor state of the surface:
New artificial grass courts will provide a great surface for new and existing players, young and old, to enjoy playing on for many years. Our players have tested the new surface at various other locations and all love it.
How we’ll spend the money raised
We have already raised the majority of the money needed through grant funding (thanks to BCKLWN and North Runcton Parish Council) and our own fundraising events.
This crowdfunding activity is our final drive to generate the last £10,000 needed to undertake our project which we want to do this spring.
Matt's Mega Bike Ride
Matt, one of the players at WNLTC, has provided the focal point for this fundraising campaign. He accepted the challenge of riding his bike from WNLTC in North Runcton to the courts in Wimbledon, the very home of Lawn Tennis.
He cycled approx 120 miles and he did it all in one day, on April 14th 2024.
Please help Matt, and West Norfolk Lawn Tennis Club, to reach our target and make this project a reality.
Sport England are providing some match funding so that every £10 given is worth a lot more to us.
