Stoolball news in April 2004

The Red Triangle Stoolball League, initiated by the YMCA in 1955, is looking for a sponsor for the next two years to help celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2005.

Stoolball continues to be a very popular sport throughout this part of the country and the Red Triangle League has over 1000 players playing in six divisions throughout Eastbourne and District.

The sponsor’s name will appear on all scorecards, associated publicity and be mentioned in the regular reports in the local paper. Please contact Eastbourne and District Chamber of Commerce at the Chamber Office.

This plea for sponsorship first appeared on the Eastbourne and District Chamber of Commerce website.

We are getting feedback from the Inland Revenue that some applications for registration as Community Amateur Sports Clubs are being rejected, because they are using out-dated and inaccurate material about club constitutions. Please distribute this message to all your clubs, as soon as possible.

We recommend that all applications being developed now should use the model club constitution and advice provided on the Central Council of Physical Recreation (CCPR) website, and discard previous guidance materials which may have been issued by other organisations in the past.

Clubs can benefit from registration through tax relief and rate relief, so making sure that applications are successful can be very important - and save clubs thousands of pounds.

For further details please call 020 7854 8500 or visit www.ccpr.org.uk
