Grants revised

The grant system has been revised and it is hoped that uniform and standardised accounting procedures will be instituted in all clubs. This will make easier an assessment of a club's financial position and remedial action consequently quicker.

The council is hopeful and confident of its plans at a stage when action is necessary. The last few years have seen a decline in membership of university sports clubs, many people preferring the better organised town teams. This drain is undoubtedly a reflection of disorganisation within the smaller clubs.

The university sports clubs need support from all students in the university, but they must first provide facilities and acquire reputations to compete with town organisations.
