- MMTCC Juniors and the schools that use the court are increasingly funded by the T&RA. MMTCC's burgeoning numbers of juniors will, if T&RA funds increase sufficiently, benefit from T&RA funding
- Grants are distributed by the T&RA for court repairs and advice is freely given and information is recorded re building materials, lights, netting etc.
- The T&RA part funds the Dedanists’ Elite, Development and Junior squads for the most promising and talented young players. MMTCC’s Tom Lewis has benefited greatly from his training as Andrew Hamilton found to his cost over the New Year!

- The T&RA organises tournaments for all levels of player ability- from the British Open involving Rob Fahey the greatest ever player, to tournaments for the likes of you and me- the Field and Brodie Cups, Category Tournaments for all bands of ability and a competition for 40+ handicappers. T&RA members will be able to play in the ‘Olympic’ tournament next July for 48 teams with group matches to be staged here at MMTCC.
