Aria Funding for Millport & West Kilbride

We are delighted to be successful in our application from the Aria Fund to start a new club in Millport and also to increase participation & playing opportunities at West Kilbride TT Club 🏓

The funding we received from Aria fund has allowed us to purchase new tables, barriers, bat and balls for Millport TT Club & West Kilbride TT Club. This will allow both clubs to increase numbers taking part, allow all players to play on new equipment and improve the opportunities that both clubs can offer.

The start of Millport TTC has coincided with the opening of their new town hall plus the additional classes that will run at the local church & primary school.

West Kilbride club can now set up more tables allowing more table tennis for players and better organised sessions. Tables will be moved to other facilities in the town.

Thanks to the partners Cumbrae Forum, Millport town hall, West Kilbride Community Centre and Aria Fund for the support on this project.
