The club is always looking for
sponsorship and grants to ensure its long term sustainability. The equipment
used in the sport of fencing is not cheap, and the club tries to provide good
quality, well maintained equipment. If you would like to sponsor the club, the
Committee looks forward to meeting with you. In recent years the club has been
successful in receiving grants from the City of Marion and the Office of
Recreation and Sport:
2011
The club
was successful in putting in a project with the Australian Sports Foundation to purchase $6,000 worth of equipment over 5 years. Any donations over $2 made to this project through the Australian Sports Foundation have tax deductable status with the Australian Taxation Office. If you would like to donate, please contact us. We also received a grant of $2,500 from the Office of Recreation and Sport as one of the clubs involved in the Volunteer Pilot Project. This has assisted the club volunteers in a number of areas, for example, to subsidise the training for our two apprentice Level 1 coaches; pay for Senior First Aid training for the three coaches; purchase aprons for volunteers helping out at sausage sizzle and canteen fundraising events; draft position profiles for all volunteer positions within the club; commission an Armoury Manual; subsidise an end of year volunteers dinner; and advertise with the Messenger for volunteers to join the club.
