Related topics: Leisure, culture and heritage

Shropshire Council’s leisure development team is running a club development information evening that will take place on Wednesday 29 May 2013 at Shirehall, Shrewsbury, starting at 7pm..                     

Representatives from sports clubs throughout the county are invited to attend.  The evening is aimed at enhancing the contact between leisure development staff and local sports clubs, as well as providing up-to-date help and information useful to clubs, coaches and volunteers.  

Items under discussion will include: 

  • Funding update – the latest on available grant aid in sport
  • Sportivate and changes
  • Changes to school funding 
  • School club links
  • Support for your coaches and volunteers
  • Group discussion. 

Gwilym Butler, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for leisure, libraries and culture, said:

“These evenings are a great way for clubs across Shropshire to find out about local and national programmes.  Clubs will have the chance to speak to officers about their clubs’ issues and concerns.  Many clubs have benefitted from these evenings in the past as they are able to share best practice, and it is a great networking opportunity.”

Pre-booking is required and places will be limited, although more than one club representative is welcome.  Anyone interested in attending one of these meetings can reserve a place directly by calling a member of the leisure development team on 01743 255071 or email leisure@shropshire.gov.uk.
