On a wet and windy Saturday morning (25 November) Ellenborough Table Tennis Club took part in National Tree week by planting new trees at their Kimberley Gardens site in Enfield.  

During the summer the clubhouse was extended and refurbished with a grant from the Community Club Development Fund. This necessitated removing some trees in the vicinity of the new social area.  

Part financed by a generous donation of £325 from the Tree Council, a charity overseeing National Tree week, a dozen or so junior boys and girls from the club participated in planting seven replacement trees. The club contributed the balance of the cost from its funds.  

Apart from encouraging young people to take an interest in the environment, the trees will be a permanent reminder of the part played by the club in this most worthwhile project.
