Federation
of
Grants
for Young Players, 2008 season
At the 2007 AGM,
members agreed that, to help promising young players to develop their croquet
skills by playing in appropriate competitions, the Federation will offer help
towards the costs of entry, travel and accommodation incurred in connection
with CA listed events. We are keen to
make potential recipients aware of these grants, and if your club has any
likely candidates I should be most grateful if you would bring the grants to
their attention
Applications should be sent to the Federation Development Officer, Bob
Thompson, at ‘Mycroft’, 7 Rufford Close, Sutton in
Ashfield,
I would particularly ask you to note that grants should normally be
approved in advance of the event.
Applicants should note
the conditions which will normally be applied to any grant.
Financial help for young players
- Contributions may be made in a grant
towards the cost of entry, travel and accommodation incurred by young
players playing in CA approved events.
- Grants will be entirely at the discretion
of the Federation. Decisions on
whether to pay grants will be taken in the first instance by a
sub-committee including members of at least two member clubs of the
Federation.
- Applications for grants should normally be
submitted and approved before the event takes place, and should be
submitted to the Federation Development Officer. Following the event, receipts should be
submitted in support of the claim.
- Applications should be supported by the
player’s home club, and a note confirming support should be submitted with
the application.
- Applicants should meet the current CA
definition of a ‘young player’, and should be a member of a club
affiliated to the Federation.
- The maximum grant to any one player in one
season will normally be £100, and for the 2008 season the total sum
available will not exceed £500.
