More than 50 ways to generate $$$$$$ for your club

SPORTS CLUBS & SPORT FUNDING WORKSHOP

The global (financial) meltdown has begun and New Zealand is not immune. We can expect a reduction in Gaming Trusts, Trusts, Corporate and Business support through grants and sponsorship.

With reduced funding from these traditional sources, it is high time to think of other ways in which to generate the income your sport needs to maintain and grow your sport.

This workshop will be interactive and engage all attendees in looking at the many and varied ways in which sport can generate more revenue.

Register now (first in first served) as limited spaces are available.

There are two workshops being held, one at Sport Wellington, 113 Adelaide Road, Newtown on Wednesday 3rd December and the other held at Pelorus Trust Sports House, 93 Hutt Park Road, Seaview on Monday 8th December.

Both workshops will run from 7pm - 8.30pm.

Press Release - Step It Up - 2008

Wellington City CBD is setting up to the challenge of getting fighting fit…all of this a month out before the election, as Pushing Play takes on another meaning.

Wellington City is no longer the domain of grey suited bureaucrats sitting at desks all day. A quiet revolution has taken place, with the launch this week of Sport Wellington’s physical activity promotion brainchild ‘Step it Up’.
