Issue - meetings

Councillors will be asked to consider the Community Area Grants report and make recommendations on the applications received, as follows:

a)    Malmesbury Netball Club, seeking £1,000 to cover set up costs of establishing a netball club in Malmesbury serving the whole community.

b)    Crudwell Short Mat Bowls Club, seeking £802 to purchase bowls equipment suitable for older and less able players.

c)    Kings Day Nursery School, Malmesbury, seeking £651 to purchase a range of equipment for use by children attending new breakfast and afterschool clubs at the nursery.

Consideration was given to the three funding allocations made to the Community Area Grants Scheme.

Decision

Malmesbury Netball Club were awarded £1,000 to cover set up costs of establishing a netball club in Malmesbury serving the whole community.

Reason

The application meets the 2010/11 grant criteria and the emerging ‘People, Places and Promises – Wiltshire Community Plan 2011-2026’ recognises the need for people to take responsibility for their own health through exercise and other factors. 

Decision

Crudwell Short Mat Bowls Club were awarded £802 to purchase bowls equipment suitable for older and less able players.

Reason

The application meets the 2010/11 grant criteria and would help the club to expand membership further as well as retain current members. It would encourage older and less able members through the provision of lighter woods as well as some younger players who might also value using lighter equipment.

Decision

Kings Day Nursey School were awarded £651 to purchase a range of equipment for use by children attending new breakfast and afterschool clubs at the nursery.  

Reason

The application meets the 2010/11 grant criteria and the application demonstrates links to the Malmesbury & Villages Community Plan 2009-2013, which refers to the need to support early years, toddler groups and pre-schools in villages.
