“We are super excited with this funding award which now makes it possible for us to extend and improve our facilities for all the members of the clubs at Caldecotte Watersports Centre, said Brian Naylor, MKSC Development Officer.

“It has taken nearly two years, a lot of hard work to secure the funding and great teamwork from all our members, the clubs, the Parks Trust and the sporting bodies to finally make this happen.
