BISHOP'S Castle Lawn Tennis Club will be offering free tennis activities and coaching this summer thanks to an Awards for All grant from the National Lottery.
Club chairman Trevor Chalkley said a wide cross-section of the community would be able to take part in the event thanks to the funding, with free sessions available to local people aged from six years old.
He said: “‘We are particularly pleased that people with learning difficulties from local care homes, and students from local primary schools and the Bishop's Castle Community College will all benefit from free sessions.”
Tennis activities are also being offered to women of all ages, people over 65 and families, where the aim is to get parents and carers playing tennis with their children.
LTA coach Lucy Taylor will also be on hand and will draw on her experience of working from everyone from complete beginners to serious high level tennis players.
The club chairman added: “She was Shropshire Tennis Coach of the Year 2015 and we are delighted to have her involved. You don't have to be an Andy Murray or Serena Williams to enjoy a fun and sociable activity on our beautiful Bishop’s Castle courts.”
