Announcements
Return to Sport Grant Funding
SLSNSW has secured a $1,000 grant from the Office of Sport for each of our surf clubs to assist in rebooting surf sports. These grants are fully acquittable back to the Office of Sport. To assist in compiling this information, SLSNSW will be sending a JotForm link to each Club President for them to attach all relevant receipts and a short description of what you have allocated the grant towards.
SLSNSW is planning on forwarding the grant funding to clubs in the week beginning 3 August and ask any clubs who choose to opt out of the program to contact Jake Lynch (SLSNSW Sports Officer) by Friday 31 July 2020.
If your club opts out, SLSNSW will not remit the grant to your club. If we have not heard from you prior to this date, we will assume your club wishes to receive the grant and accepts the associated acquittal requirements.
