A SPORTS club based in Potters Bar can now buy new equipment, thanks to a grant from Hertsmere Borough Council.

Zenith Trampolining Club, which is based at the Furzefield Centre, in Mutton Lane, is set to purchase a new trampoline bed and three safety mattresses after being given �2,144.

Head coach Carole Charters, who lives in Blanche Lane, South Mimms, told the Potters Bar Edition: “We are absolutely delighted.

“It is fantastic news.”

The club, which currently has more than 100 members, was one of three organisations in the borough to receive a cash boost from the council.

And there’s still time left for other voluntary and community groups to benefit.

Cllr Brenda Batten, portfolio holder with responsibility for grants, said: “There are many worthwhile groups out there which provide support and help to our residents, as well as activities and events.

“We appreciate that sometimes they need a helping hand and grants like this can make a real difference.”

The closing date for applications is Wednesday, September 15.
