SYKES - VICTALENT GRANTS FOR SPORTS CLUBS

Nationals MP Bill Sykes reminds sporting and recreational clubs in the Benalla electorate that the popular Victalent Grants are once again available.

Victalent encourages and supports developing athletes, coaches, officials and teams who travel extensively to train and compete in rural and regional Victoria.

“They are particularly useful to country clubs and individuals, “explains Bill Sykes, “because of the distances between venues and the high cost of fuel.”

Applications for projects before 30 June 2007 should be submitted by 27 October this year.

Grants of up to $500 are available and guidelines and application forms may be found on line at www.grants.dvc.vic.gov.au.

Applications can be sent electronically, by fax or by mail. Information about the program can be obtained by contacting the Grants Information Line on 1300 366 356 between 8.30 am and 10 pm or contact Peta Clark at Bill Sykes office ph 5762 2100.
