Kojak Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 A few years ago Chapelhall club in the Midland fed,had a very clever secretary in Jim McHutchison,he filled out the form and the club got money for a new club hut and taurus ets clocks for the whole club,pensioners and children being the vital criteria. Good Luck
greenlands Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Sorry used to have some x miner's. In our club but sadly they passed away would we still be able to apply do you thinkYes mate,doesn't have to be ex miners in the club,sorry to say long gone in my area,most of my family were miners.I suppose as long as there was mining in the area,I was pointed in the right direction who was a county councilor,our contact was the local library.Try your Parish Council,they are allocated a sum of money and if they don't use all of it they get less the next financial year.Tell them why you need a grant,we use our money for repairs and renewing club items,ie. baskets etc.

Pompey Mick Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 My Club received a grant for a trailer in 2015 from Awards4All. It may fit your application, just remember that Pigeon Racing is not classified as a sport, it is more a recreational pastime. Your Club is a volunteer based, not for profit, organisation that offers the opportunity for all like minded enthusiasts of all ages,colour & creed to participate in their chosen pastime. If you feel that you want to apply and would like any advice , feel free to ask. I received advice from Thomas Garvie of the Netherburn Homing Society in 2007 and it led to a successful grant application for ETS, and using the same criteria a successful grant was made in 2015. So it pays to not be afraid to ask.https://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/global-content/programmes/scotland/awards-for-all-scotland

I Disagree what would you advise mick
Pompey Mick Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 If there is a need for a grant then you will need the Club & Secretary on board but he doesn't have to formulate the application. Bring it up at your Club get the go ahead and possibly form a sub-committee to work on the bid. I'm willing to advise once the Club gives you the green light. Most importantly, all it costs is time.
