Martin Peters MBE - Fund Raising Launch
The Club hosted a Fund Raising Launch recently at the Brentwood Centre, which was well attended by many of their supporters. VIP's were greeted by the Clubs Patron Martin Peters MBE and were treated to a magnificent display of Trampoline and Double Mini Trampolining from Great Britain squad members Phillip Dodson and Mark Pennell, along with some participants with disabilities and club members from just 4yrs old, all displaying their skills in this graceful sport.

The Club will be looking to apply to Sport England for lottery funding who have indicated that it is a project they would look to support. However, the Launch marked the start of the Clubs intention to offer local and national business, both large and small, an opportunity to support the project.
