It could be You!

Could your club do with £5000 to spend on a Laptop PC and Software, a Projector and a new Rig/Antenna for use on a Foundation training course?

Well the money is waiting for you, all you need to do is fill in a form, see:

http://www.awardsforall.org.uk/england/england_main.html

Several Radio Clubs have already done this and received up to £4,900 (for some reason everyone claims just under the £5,000 limit).

The form is straight-forward to fill in, the only thing that may confuse you is the Ethnic Breakdown question.

The correct answer to the Ethnic Breakdown question for Chelmsford is given on the National Census website at:

http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/AreaProfileFrames.asp?
TID=13&AREA=Chelmsford&AID=175632

(enter as single line)

Sustitute Chelmsford with your town.

As the answer they want is on the web, there's no excuse for getting it wrong. I believe they use the question to determine if the worthy cause (Amateur Radio) is open to all the community.

It really is simple, the lottery has more money to give away than it knows what to do with.

I'd like to see more Amateur Radio clubs getting this money, so I hope your club will consider applying.

Lottery Grant For Amateur Radio Training

The Thornton-Cleveleys Amateur Radio Society has recently received a grant of £4,900 to help in the promotion of amateur radio and to assist in training for the Radio Communications Examination.

A club official said “the Awards for All scheme has made it simple to apply for funding and the grant received will help us continue our training work.”

Over the past two and a half years the club has held 18 examination classes with 150 candidates passing the Foundation licence exam.
