Bowling News
The latest grant of financial support for bowling clubs is now available through Kirklees MC which is worth at least £2,667 to each club with its own green.
Kirklees indicate that they will contact clubs that were awarded grants earlier in the year to invite them to self-certify that their circumstances haven't changed and confirm that they are still eligible to benefit from the grant. Regardless of that there is no need to await that invitation as the same process to claim the grant is now available online.
This latest grant is known as the 'Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant' scheme and is to cover the period December 2021 to March 2022 and is based on the rateable value of the club property as of 31 December 2021. Clubs that have a rateable value of up to £15,000 can claim £2,667 even though their actual payment to Kirklees MC may be zero. Clubs with a rateable value over £15,000 can claim upon to £6,000. This grant is not available to bowling clubs that don't have their own premises such as clubs based on park greens.
Once again the park clubs are being penalised by not being able to obtain any grants from Kirklees !!!
Thanks
