“Funding boost for Edinburgh’s wheelchair tennis tournament”
Winning Wheels, the wheelchair tennis club based at Craiglockhart Tennis Centre is pleased to announce that they have secured funding from Awards For All to help support travel and hotel expenses for Scottish players that are traveling to the 2nd Edinburgh wheelchair tennis tournament next month.
Keith Thom (pictured) from Dumfries, winner of the inaugural Tennis Foundation development series last year said “Having the Awards For All funding to support Scottish adult and junior players will hopefully encourage more disabled people to travel to this event and also help to raise awareness of wheelchair tennis throughout Scotland”
The Edinburgh wheelchair tennis tournament is part of the Tennis Foundation’s 2012 development series and will take place at Craiglockhart on 14thth and 15th April. Entries are now open and the closing date is March 22nd . Please contact tournament organiser David Hogg or Andrew Raitt for details.
