A tennis club has been a benefactor of the Rural England Prosperity fund.

“Caunton Tennis Club are one of the many businesses, social enterprises or community organisations we have supported so far through Rural England Prosperity Fund,” said a spokesman from the Newark and Sherwood District Council.

“It is great to help strengthen the rural economy and enhance opportunities for local people.

“The funding has enabled the club to improve their facilities and purchase equipment, introducing wider community access to the site through non-member court bookings, as well as host a variety of free sessions and regular community events for residents.
