Calne Community Table Tennis Club will be able to purchase new equipment this year thanks to a grant of nearly £1,500 from the Calne Area Board.

The club will put the money towards new equipment and training aimed at young people from families on low incomes.

The club also aims to develop opportunities for people with disabilities to take part.

Calne town councillor Howard Marshall said the grant of £1,425 was well deserved.

“The club is very well attended. It looks to me as if this is a very worthy project and I would certainly support it.”
