A huge thank you to PAVS and the Port of Milford Haven Community Fund for a very generous grant which will help us purchase more equipment to keep up with the demands of a rapidly growing membership.

What the Grant Means for Us
As a community-based club, funds are always tight. We've grown quickly since launching — more members means more boards, clocks, and pieces needed to keep every table busy on club night. This grant makes a real difference and allows us to invest properly in the equipment we need to continue welcoming new players of all ages and abilities.
