MLTC Club Notices July 20th 2023
Newsletter 20th July 2023
NOTICE TO MEMBERS
We wish to keep members updated on the Disability Access Project for MLTC.
This project is an initiative by MLTC to make the tennis courts (and in time, the club house) accessible to all club members, including those members who are wheelchair users and/or people with mobility issues.
Our Buildings Subgroup have completed their research on ramp options and have submitted a proposed drawing which is displayed on our notice board to outline the ramp design. (see attached)
Our thanks to the sub-group for their on-going work on this project.
MLTC were awarded the Gold Mark some years back which promotes inclusivity and club development, and this project is in line with our continued efforts to retain this status.
Should members have any queries on the proposed ramp please speak with a member of the executive committee.
