R Ladies day at Flitwick & Ampthilll Tennis Club
“The Committee at Flitwick & Ampthill Lawn
Tennis Club has always strived to improve the
club’s facilities and to enhance the experience
for members and the local community alike,
with their ultimate long-term ambition to
provide indoor facilities,” said Barbara.
“Our plans have now come to fruition with a
single skin air dome which covers two of our
eight courts and offers floodlighting to ensure
that play can take place throughout the winter
months regardless of the weather conditions.
“For some of our members, playing in an
air dome was a first and one that they really
enjoyed. In fact, the general feedback
we received from our members has been
really positive and encouraging, which
makes all of the hard work worth while!
“Of course, none of this would have been
possible without the support of Central
Bedfordshire Council and the LTA and
huge thanks must go to them as well as
our contractors who did an amazing job
and our club members for their fantastic
efforts in helping us achieve our goal.
“With our membership at an all-time high,
we are looking forward to building on this
with even more people playing tennis by
increasing the profile of Flitwick & Ampthill
Lawn Tennis Club within the area.”
Clubs across Britain have benefitted from
investment in facilities and since 2019,
there has been £8.9m in loan funding
awarded across 87 projects. This figure
rises to £9,605,945 when investments
in Scotland are taken into account.
This has included 23 indoor tennis courts,
21 covered padel courts, 23 floodlit padel
courts, 106 sets of floodlights and 105
new or upgraded outdoor courts.
Over the same period, the LTA has recovered
over £6m in capital investment repayments
from existing LTA facility
venue loans. >
