Grants agreed for local sports
The recent Frome Vale Area Forum decided to give Community Grants to a range of local sporting organisations. These grants were aimed at providing sporting oportunities for local young people.
Dodington football tournaments £2730
Dodington Parish Council has been running football tournaments for 7 to 11 year old boys and girls at QE2 Playing Fields, Kelston Close since 2009. There are two tournaments in each of the Easter, May, October and February half terms - 8 days of free sporting fun for local youngsters, led by professional coaches.
King Edmund Acrogymnastics £3000
The number of young people involved in this popular sport is increasing, so there is a need to progress volunteer coaches to higher levels. This grant will pay for the coaches' training, safeguarding and welfare courses.
Southwold Swimming Club £1134
Swimming is a demanding sport, particularly at competitive level. This grant will pay for a highly respected and qualified physiotherapist to screen all the Club's competitive swimmers for probelsm that could lead to significant injury.
Chipping Sodbury Golf Club £1500
The Golf Club provides a 6 hole academy course on Chiping Sodbury Common that is available free of charge to the public. There is free junior coaching on this course and practice area, both for members and non-members. The money will provide new wires around the greens to keep the cattle off the playing area.
Sodbury Tennis Club £1500
This money will be half of the cost of upgrading and improving a Mini-Tennis court and providing a dedicated children's fitness area.
