Email from John Birkin :-
Dear TT friends,
Please see the ETTA web-site  with
good news of the Sport England grant, with substantial funding for next
year and core funding for a further three years. This is really Andy
Sewards legacy. It is the most important piece of news this season, so
please flag it up on the various web-sites.
"Today''''s (Jan 23rd) funding announcement by Sport England gives
the new ETTA a vote of confidence. It brings the security of a
combination of three years funding for core costs and one-year further
investment in development and talent programmes."
Much will now depend on whether a person of similar calibre can be found to take over and seize this opportunity.
Best wishes,
John
