Thurrock Sports Council Report
In his report the chairman Les Hughes stated that there was a slow start to the year , not helped by the grant delay until August, however the second half came to life, so much so that we exhausted the grant of £6888 by the end of March.
Support given to individuals by way of sponsorship has exceeded that of coaching awards, although the coaching grants given will reach a good number of sports people.
The chairman would prefer to concentrate on coaching awards for the very reason of numbers reached, perhaps sponsorships could be reduced or more rigorously applied.
The chairman thanked the regular attendees and the committee who keep the Sports Council going.
No grants were made at the meeting as last year’s grant was exhausted and funding is awaited for this year.
The Sports Council meets quarterly and sport representatives are welcome to attend.
