ROTHESAY INTERNATIONAL EASTBOURNE<br />
FACILITY<br />
INVESTMENT<br />
A thriving local tennis club is the heartbeat of a healthy sporting<br />
community and with the help of the LTA Quick Access Loan scheme, local<br />
communities across the country are enjoying improved facilities.<br />
The LTA Quick Access Loan Scheme<br />
provides interest-free loans to help venues<br />
deliver projects that will grow the number<br />
of people playing tennis and padel.<br />
The scheme is a part of the LTA’s mission<br />
to grow tennis and padel by making it<br />
accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable to all.<br />
To attract new players within local<br />
communities, it is critical to have access<br />
to quality all year round facilities and<br />
given the inclement British weather, the<br />
LTA has been prioritising the installation<br />
and construction of covered courts.<br />
Flitwick and Ampthill Tennis Club in<br />
Bedfordshire is a club that has benefited<br />
from this investment, with an air dome<br />
now in place above two of their eight<br />
courts during the winter months.<br />
As Bedfordshire is a county lacking indoor<br />
tennis facilities, the air dome at Flitwick has<br />
helped to ensure club social nights and winter<br />
tennis events proceeded unhindered, with<br />
chairperson Barbara Mabbitt suggesting the<br />
investment was a long-term goal for the club.<br />
