Finding funding for your local sport or recreational group for facility upgrades or special events can be tough.

It's difficult to know what opportunities are out there and how to apply for them.

For this reason, Wellington Shire Council is co-ordinating an event where all the local funding bodies will be in the one place to discuss possibilities with you and your club.

Sport and recreational club representatives are invited to attend the event, on Wednesday, 11 July at the Port of Sale, 70 Foster St, Sale.

Feel free to drop in between 5pm and 7pm for an informal chat, or a short presentation will be held at 6pm if you would prefer to receive an overview.

This will be a great opportunity to talk directly to Wellington Shire Council, the Latrobe Valley Authority, Sport and Recreation Victoria, GippSport and Regional Development Victoria.

Representatives of these organisations will be on hand to talk to you about opportunities for funding and how to prepare applications.
