EDSACC Croquet Club has been awarded $8,350 in funding under the NSW Government 2023/24 Local Sports Grants Program to repair the lawns and improve the quality of the play surface.
This will also lead to improved playing experience; help attract new players and improve opportunities for hosting events that will provide quality sporting experiences.
The Local Sports Grant Program provides up to up to $20,000 to individual clubs and associations with $50,000 available in each electorate to increase participation in community sport with 579 projects awarded funding in this year’s program.
“This funding helps our local clubs and their army of volunteers to provide more opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the benefits of sport and active recreation,” Member for The Entrance David Mehan said.
“With the critical role sport plays in keeping people healthy, active and socially connected, this funding is vital to community health, wellbeing and sense of identity.
“I congratulate the club on securing this funding and appreciate the mark they make in our community, ensuring that not only sport and recreation is front of mind, but more importantly a welcoming place for social interaction.”
