• improved its lawns and its off-court facilities
• increased the proportion of members who are CA Associates
• competed in Federation leagues for both codes of the game
• provided support to smaller clubs in the area, and
• developed its commitment to coaching

The winner receives an inscribed plaque and a cheque for £250, and holds the associated trophy for 2 years (or one year each in the case of Fylde and West Worthing. Trophies will be presented at the CA AGM in October.

Future Awards

The next round of awards will be made in February 2015. Applications will be invited in the autumn of 2014.
