Development

 

Each year the management committee produces development plans to help and support our athletes and to focus our activities. The cost of delivering these plans is achieved through competition entry and course fees, grants and from our capital reserves.

 

You can find out how we are meeting our development plans by looking at the minutes of committee meetings here.

 

The development plans below are for the year April 2010 to March 2011
