The clubs latest project is almost there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Tiger Turf has been layed on the top three courts, the new Tarmac courts are now laid on the old grass area, all the fencing has been replaced where damaged and new paths etc have been laid. We are just now waiting for a dry warm period so we can get the courts painted.
The project has cost in the region of £90,000 and funding was sought from the LTA and other associations to help meet the costs.
Club Chairman John Melluish, has just secured a £2000 sponsorship from Tiger Turf to help with the paying of the new courts. Tiger Turf want to show Hartford off to the rest of the north. The southern based company will use the club as its leading example of the quality product that they manufacture in the North. Clubs as far as Dunfermline have been in contact to find out about the surface and could be arranging a visit to check the courts out.
The committee feel that the resurfacing and rebuilding will only further enhance the clubs reputation as the leading club in the area, we hope you agree.
