Members of the Tonbridge Baseball Club are celebrating after receiving a £300 donation from the MARS Milk Play Fund.

The club that started with only a few players has grown to a thriving team with new members joining every year. It is a mixed team that plays in the British Baseball Federation’s A League South

Current members are aged from 12 - 52-years-old and everyone is welcome to join.

Gareth Nutt said: “This donation from the MARS Milk Play Fund couldn’t have come at a better time.

"Given the winter floods, our ground has taken somewhat of a battering and we are looking to improve our back stop back to its former glory.

"It is made of metal and so started to rust over the winter. This donation is a great boost to get our fund under way.”

The MARS Milk Play Fund was set up to help individuals, clubs and groups and runs until September, 30 2014.

There are ten £300 awards that are donated each month. There is also a £1,000 award for the monthly People’s Choice award, where the public can vote for their favourite individual, club or team.
