THANKS to a generous donation from the local Lions Club, the Heathcote Tennis Club are a step closer to completing repairs to their clubrooms.<\/p>\n
The tennis courts and clubrooms were badly damaged during the October 2022 floods and again earlier this year.<\/p>\n
President of the Heathcote Lions Club, Lorraine Speirs, presented tennis club treasurer Cameron Haskett with a cheque for $2000 last weekend.<\/p>\n
“This will go a long way towards repairing the damage caused by the two flood events,” said Mr Haskett.<\/p>\n
“We really appreciate the help from the Lions Club.<\/p>\n
“The club is thriving with keen interest in tennis, Hot Shots and the recent addition of Pickleball.<\/p>\n
“This donation will be a great help towards the repairs to the clubhouse which was extensively damaged.”<\/p>\n
Ms Speirs said the Lions Club is always happy to be able to help community groups.<\/p>\n
“The funds we raise throughout the year all go back into the community with various projects,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We are happy for people to contact us if they see a need and we would also like to invite any interested people to join the Lions Club.<\/p>\n
“We’ve seen here the results of what we do and it’s very rewarding.”<\/p>\n
Lions Club secretary Greg Speirs added, “If we don’t support our sporting clubs, we don’t have a town.<\/p>\n
“It’s great to be able to help.”<\/p>\n
