Braehead Curling Development Group is seeking your financial support, to create a really lively, and competitive Junior Curling Section.

Last season, the BCDG and its Junior coaches, introduced 80+ new juniors to curling, and there are now at least 50 juniors who are being coached and playing regularly at Braehead.

Key initiatives are planned for 2014, with the aim of having 100+ regular junior curlers by the end of March 2015.

We plan to establish a £10,000 Junior Development Fund, to:
• EmployaJuniorDevelopmentCoach,workingfortheBCDG.
• Fundhighqualitycoachingofourjuniorcurlers
• Establishreallyfun,competitivejuniorsessions
• Develop robust links between the Braehead Junior Curling, local schools and our clubs

BCDG will be providing over £1000 per annum, and the RCCC Outcomes Performance Fund should take the Fund to £2000.

This letter seeks your financial support for this venture:

• Do you know of a business which might consider corporate funding? 2 businesses providing £1500 each, attracts ‘SportsMatch’ funding of £3000 = £6000 in total.
  
  
• Can you consider a monthly donation of £5 - £10 per month, or a one off lump sum? We would like to raise £2000 - £3000 pa through individual donations 

Could your Curling Club sponsor a junior team (£150) for a season? - 6 Clubs at £150 provides £900. 

The key to growing club curling in Glasgow is to have a really vibrant junior section feeding into your clubs. We need your help in this.
