Club Development Evening

Thank you for those who booked early so we could confirm the event.
We are still taking bookings up to the 17th September 2010.

A FREE Club Development Evening will be taking place on Thursday 23rd September at Abbey House.

The event will be invaluable to local clubs.  We will have people on hand to help your club with funding, volunteers, workforce development, marketing and many other areas.

The event will start promptly at 6.30 so please get there by 6.15 to register and get a brew.  The event will take the form of speed dating with 10 minute sessions on a variety of topics.  

Attached are more details and a booking form.  

Please contact Stuart Meredith on 844835 or email for more information.

Special Offer to Clubmark and Charter Standard Clubs

Starting now, Furness College is offering a 50% reduction on course fees for clubs with or working towards Clubmark or their Governing Body equivalent (e.g. Charter Standard).

The subsidy will apply automatically to all courses run by the Sports Hub or in partnership with the Sports Hub.

If there is no local course, we will now also consider a subsidy of up to 50% for level 1 courses only, including transport and accommodation.  Clubs will need to show a clear need for this.  Previously this level of subsidy was only available for level 2 or above.

Clubs can still apply to Barrow Sports Council for the rest of the costs.  Individuals can also still apply to Get Qualified.

The 50% subsidy for local courses starts now!  Contact Stuart Meredith for more information on 844835.
