With the aid of the grant from the Blackhill Windfarm Community Fund, the people of Gordon we were successful in purchasing the Gordon Sports Field for the community on 28th Feb 2023!
The attached photos show “Community Sports Field” clubhouse, a panoramic of the field and the field in its entirety with, in the distance, the new fencing put in by community volunteers.
Thanks to funding from the Blackhill Windfarm Community Fund, the local tennis courts have been freshly repainted and fitted with new nets—boosting efforts to attract new players. Free “come and try” sessions, after-school clubs, and a successful holiday camp have helped engage young people in the sport. The club plans to continue growing participation while maintaining the courts for future use.
This project aimed to refurbish and repair a number of local amenities in our local area, including two local bus shelters, railings, benches, cutting back shrubbery and renewal of signs.
