Sports Club Survey

Two previous surveys were very successful and have played a vital role in campaigning for change. If clubs would like to be involved they should contatc the Secretary who will organise a block response to the Alliance.

The Sport and Recreational Alliance was commissioned by the Government to conduct a review of the red tape which sports clubs have to deal with and to provide recommendations on the areas of regulation that hold clubs back. The findings of the review will be reported to the Deputy Prime Minister, and a launch event is planned for 22nd March. Further information will follow.
