Sir Edward Garnier, the MP for Harborough, was delighted to hear about the £140,000 worth of funding from Sport England to three clubs within his constituency over the last year. £140,000 from the Sport England Inspired Facilities Fund has been given to the Market Harborough Rugby Club, Bowden Cricket Club and Great Glen Tennis Club to enable them to extend and improve their current facilities.
Sir Edward said “I am delighted to hear about these grants to these three clubs. The money will not just benefit the clubs but the constituency more generally. I have already presented a cheque to Market Harborough Rugby Club but was unaware until recently of the money given by the Inspired Facilities Fund to Bowden Cricket Club and Great Glen Tennis Club. To have been successful in their applications for funding shows that the three clubs are efficient and deserving and I trust that my constituents will soon be able to enjoy the benefit of the improved facilities.
“I understand that the Inspired Facilities Fund has a current funding round which closes on 16 December so any other interested clubs should contact the Sports England Grants Team on 08458 508508 for more information.”
