Star opens star court
What better way to celebrate the opening of your new all weather tennis court than having an award winning actor to cut the ribbon at the official opening. Bishop Castle Lawn Tennis Club secured the services of Pete Postlethwaite to cut the ribbon adorning the net on the new court on Saturday, 19 July. The Club received just over £60K to develop the new court and provide a local activity programme called ‘Tennis Stronger mind and body’. Congratulations to all at the Club on a great opening and a very successful project.

The original survey, undertaken from October 2006 for 12 months, has now been analysed further against consumer trends data and Sport England has released some excellent market segmentation profiles that will help partners to market sport in their area.
